Chapter 47 Didn’t I travel through time in vain?
Chen Yushu's face became serious and he nodded again.
He was indeed reckless before.
The main reason is that he knows too little about this business.
Although Li Chao's Ghost Records introduced many things about the trade in bits and pieces and mentioned many taboos and rules, it did not really mention the taboos in the area of ghost walking.
Of course, he also knew that nothing was absolute.
It doesn't mean that he can't do Yin-yang in the future.
The characteristic of people who walk in the underworld is that they walk in the underworld, communicate with ghosts and spirits, and solve many problems based on the demands of these things. If they do not walk in the underworld, many things cannot be done.
But it must be done in a relatively safe place.
For example, Jianghuan Town is a human settlement after all, and is guarded by departments like the Zhenyinsi. Even if there are some powerful beings, most of them are controllable.
Otherwise, he would have been eliminated long ago by someone with more experience in the field.
In addition, each village generally has an ancestral hall. The "spirits" in the ancestral hall can only protect the villagers and do not have much killing power.
So it is relatively safe.
You should be especially careful when you are in the wild or in places where there are natural gatherings of negative energy and evil spirits.
"As for the last one."
Liu Qiao'er paused for a moment, then decided to let Chen Yushu choose for himself. "Which 'art' do you want to learn?"
"What kind of 'technique'?"
Chen Yushu asked back, feeling quite surprised and delighted. Can I choose by myself?
He had never experienced this kind of happy trouble.
But he also knew that the opportunity was rare, so he started thinking quickly.
The two previous "skills" were the Fuyin Technique and the Wangqi Technique.
The Fu Yin Jue is a technique for dealing with ghosts and monsters. It is a method of attack. Of course, its actual killing power is not great. It serves the purpose of suppressing and oppressing.
The art of looking at qi is a method of waiting and observing, and its greater function is actually to seek benefits and avoid harm.
Both have their advantages and disadvantages, and both are indispensable to him, and he is very satisfied with them.
"Attack, defense, escape, support. Now I already have 'attack' and 'support', so what I lack is 'defense' and 'escape'?"
Chen Yushu's eyes moved slightly, and when he was about to make a plan, he suddenly saw the little girl with two pigtails playing alone in the yard.
He had asked before, and the little girl was Liu Qiaoer's ghost, who believed in ghosts.
Don't underestimate its small size and seemingly no threat, but it plays a significant role. It is good at sending and receiving letters, exploring paths and fighting.
Then, as if a sudden inspiration had struck him, the words that came out of his mouth became: "Sister Qiao'er, for this last 'art', I will choose the art of raising little ghosts, right?"
"Um?
You are quite picky.”
Liu Qiaoer was stunned, but did not refuse. She nodded in agreement.
"This little ghost is not something you can just catch and raise just by finding a wandering ghost on the street.
You have to make a selection first.
Don't do anything that brings injustice or bad luck.
Don’t accept ghosts who are more than three years old.
Those with unclean backgrounds are not accepted either...For various reasons, most of these little ghosts are weak and are bullied wherever they go. They cannot be reincarnated and can only wander around.
Most of the little ghosts are very pitiful.
Just like my little Yin, she was a stillborn baby in three lives.
He died at birth and had been with his original mother ever since. He finally waited until his mother became pregnant with her second child, but before he could be reincarnated, the second child also died.
She waited for her third child for ten months, but before the birth, her mother was murdered by her concubine and drank an abortion drug... So the third child also died in the womb, and she completely lost the chance of reincarnation and could no longer enter the cycle of rebirth. She could only wander alone in the world until I encountered it.
So once you decide to raise a little ghost, don't bully it or abandon it easily."
Liu Qiaoer looked at Xiaoyin playing outside the door, then looked at Chen Yushuo seriously and said.
"I understand!"
Chen Yushu's face became serious and he nodded quickly.
There was also a hint of pity in his eyes when he looked at Xiaoyin.
Three stillbirths.
This experience is truly tragic and pitiful.
The so-called true transmission can be conveyed in one sentence, while false transmission requires thousands of books.
Liu Qiaoer wrote down the three 'techniques' in one go, which took her no more than half an hour.
The specific number of words is only about 800.
But every sentence is full of gems, without any hidden codes or mysteries, and every word is straightforward, so people can understand it at a glance.
After Chen Yushu received it, he felt like he had found a treasure. He read it several times in a row before finally putting it away carefully.
“Thank you, Sister Qiao’er.
I will raise thirty taels of silver as soon as possible and send it to you."
Chen Yushu clenched his hands and bowed solemnly to Liu Qiaoer.
“You’re welcome.
Being a ghost person is not an easy job.
You should be more careful yourself."
Liu Qiaoer waved her hand and walked out of the study.
"Um, Sister Qiao'er."
Chen Yushu opened his mouth and called her, then hesitated for a moment before saying, "If I want to learn the 'art' again in the future, can I still buy it from you?"
Although I feel embarrassed, I am indeed a little greedy.
But he knew that this was his easiest chance to learn the 'technique' inherited from the Yin-walking people, so he naturally didn't want to give it up.
“This is a ‘technique’.
The basis of life preservation.
I’m selling these three to you at a very low price, especially since we’re from the same village and grew up together.
so……"
Who knew that Liu Qiaoer's bottom line was also very flexible, and then she said: "You have to pay more.
And no credit is allowed.”
"good.
no problem!"
Chen Yushu was overjoyed and immediately agreed.
Then, Liu Qiaoer was arranged by Chen Yushu to rest in a guest room nearby.
He ran back to the kitchen, lit the charcoal fire and started to boil the medicine.
The one that is fried is naturally Yangyuan Soup.
Because he was busy today, he hasn't practiced martial arts yet.
He always drinks a bowl of Yangyuan Soup every day and doesn't want to delay it because of other things.
“However, this is the last portion of Yang Yuan Soup.
After drinking it this time, I’ll have to buy it again.
Otherwise, the efficiency of martial arts training will drop."
Chen Yushu drank the Yangyuan Soup in one gulp, but his brows furrowed slightly.
He really didn't have much money on him.
The talisman paper, talisman ink and other items he bought today cost him twenty taels of silver. Adding the four taels of silver he had spent before, he only had six taels of silver left.
Six taels of silver can only buy two servings of Yangyuan Soup at most.
For him, it's just a drop in the bucket.
Not to mention.
He still owed Liu Qiaoer thirty taels of silver.
In addition, if he wanted to continue learning the techniques inherited from the Yin-walking people, he would need to buy them from Liu Qiaoer, which would cost him another large sum of money...
"Poor! Poor! Poor!
In the previous life, I was oppressed by the mortgage and struggled to make ends meet. Even if I chose to lie down, I would still receive a collection bill every month.
Now, my memory has been awakened, and I have been reborn through time travel, but I still have to run around for a few pieces of silver. Isn’t this all for nothing? "
Chen Yushu took a deep breath and felt helpless.
