Chapter 12 Mountain Ghost Spending Money
On the third day after Qing Yanrou arrived in Beijing, Imperial Capital University finally started school!
During these three days, she was thrown into a dream by the stingy Daoyi, where she fought with the Ghost King day and night, and was very exhausted!
Finally, school started and I rushed to school without stopping.
Walking into this century-old university, the ancient atmosphere hits you in the face. Thinking of her mother deep in her memory who also graduated from this university, Qing Yanrou seems to feel that the connection between them is closer.
Today is the first day of school. Many students are accompanied by their families, but she is the only one dragging a suitcase, making her stand out in the crowd.
Chu Tingbai saw Qing Yanrou, who was wearing a white dress and had a bun on her hair, at a glance. He said something to his friend and walked towards her.
Before Yang Hao could say anything, he saw Chu Tingbai walking up to a girl with a meaningful smile on his face. Could it be that the thousand-year-old iron tree that rejected thousands of girls has finally blossomed?
Looking at Chu Tingbai who suddenly appeared, Qing Yanrou looked puzzled.
"I'm from Imperial Capital University. I'm here with my friends for the orientation today. Which college are you from? I'll take you there."
He naturally took the box from her hand and asked in a deep voice.
Seeing his natural look, Qing Yanrou did not refuse, "Thank you, Senior Chu. I'm from the Journalism Department."
Hearing her cheerful tone, Chu Tingbai paused slightly and his mood became much brighter. A low and pleasant chuckle sounded in front of her, leading her to the freshman reception office of the Journalism Department.
The people at the freshman reception desk of the Journalism Department were bored and using a small electric fan to keep themselves cool.
The big shot from the computer department was walking towards them carrying a blue women's suitcase, followed by a sweet-looking girl in a white dress.
The eyes of several people lit up and they looked at them enthusiastically in an instant, but the men looked at Qing Yanrou passionately, while the women looked at Chu Tingbai shyly.
Chu Tingbai frowned unhappily, and when he noticed the way they were looking at Qing Yanrou, he became even more displeased, so he stood in front of her to block their gaze.
He took the roster beside him and found Qing Yanrou's name. After noting the dormitory building and bed, he took her away.
The dormitory building of the Journalism Department has been newly renovated. The walls are painted with colorful rainbows, which makes you feel full of girlishness.
Qing Yanrou's dormitory is on the third floor, room 304.
Today is the first day of school. Qing Yanrou came too early and was the first to arrive at the dormitory.
When he opened the door, there was still a faint musty smell inside. Chu Tingbai took the initiative to go over and open the window to let in some fresh air.
Qing Yanrou's bed was right next to the window. Taking advantage of the fact that only Chu Tingbai was there, she took out a purification talisman and a dust removal talisman and used them together with some hand gestures. In an instant, not only did the odor in the room disappear, but it was also filled with the fragrance of grass and trees.
Chu Tingbai looked at her in surprise. He didn't expect that there was such a magical talisman paper!
"This talisman paper is quite convenient."
Convenient for lazy people...
"I made this talisman paper for fun. If you want, I'll give you a few."
Seeing that he looked interested, Qing Yanrou readily took out the few talismans she had and handed them to him.
"I'll add you on WeChat and transfer the money to you."
Chu Tingbai did not refuse. He took the talisman paper and took out his mobile phone, opened the WeChat QR code and asked Qing Yanrou to add him.
"No need, this talisman paper is easy to use, I'll give it to you."
Qing Yanrou said casually that her uncle had given her so much reward before, so these few pieces of talisman paper were nothing to her.
"Add your contact information, maybe you'll need it in the future."
Qing Yanrou thought so too, so she took out her phone and scanned the friends to add them.

After putting down their gifts, there was nothing much to pack, so the two of them left the dormitory together. On the way, Chu Tingbai received a call and said goodbye to Qing Yanrou.
She has been busy since arriving in Beijing. Today, she had some free time, so she took out her cell phone and took a taxi to the antique city to buy a birthday present for the Taoist priest Jianyi.
The antique city was bustling with activity. Qing Yanrou had visited several shops but hadn't found the antiques she wanted. She looked up at a shop in front of her called Yimingtang and became interested.
An interesting and striking shop name.
When I walked into the shop, I found that it was full of a sense of age and exuded the scent of old objects. It seemed that there were really good things there.
The design inside the shop is well-organized, with each type of antique displayed separately, and the shelves are filled with a wide variety of antiques.
Qing Yanrou fell in love with an ancient jade at first sight. It was not because the jade was so pure and flawless, but because the jade had a slightly evil aura.
It was obviously unearthed not long ago, so ordinary people might have to pay a price to buy it.
"Boss, I want this piece of jade."
Just as she was thinking, a female voice sounded from the side. Seeing Qing Yanrou looking at her, she gave her a look of contempt.
Qing Yanrou:......
"I advise you not to buy this jade."
"Oh, I buy whatever I want. Do you have any right to interfere?"
Bai Xinyi instructed the store owner to pack the goods carefully while looking at her with disdain.
"Are you planning to give this to your elders? I'm afraid you might give the wrong gift." Qing Yanrou kindly reminded.
"Don't be sour just because you can't buy it. I want this ancient jade!"
"Boss, swipe the card!"
Carrying the wrapped gift box, Bai Xinyi looked at Qing Yanrou coldly like a proud peacock and walked out of the store.
Some people have to bleed a little before they know what is right and wrong. Fortunately, the jade only has a slight evil spirit and it is not serious. I will just pray that the person who receives the gift is a blessed person.
She didn't take it to heart and continued looking at things. Suddenly, her eyes lit up and she saw a mountain ghost spending money in this store!
Mountain Ghost Coins were first minted in the late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty, and were extremely popular in the Qing Dynasty. They were magical instruments used by Taoist priests in the Qing Dynasty to exorcise demons and ghosts. They were exquisitely cast, but very few remain in the world.
Unexpectedly, Qing Yanrou encountered six of them in an antique shop today!
"Boss, can you take it out and let me see it?"
She looked at the mountain ghost inside spending money through the glass cabinet and said to the boss who was playing Candy Crush without looking up.
The sound of the Candy Crush game suddenly stopped. The boss pushed up his glasses, looked up at her and said, "Hey, little girl, you have good eyesight. You are an expert in this field."
After saying that, he put down his phone, stood up and walked to the glass cabinet containing the mountain ghost coins.
As he opened the cabinet, he said to her, "Little girl, this is something a young man who's in urgent need of money has put in consignment with me. Come and take a look."
Qing Yanrou took it and looked at it carefully. The eight Yang characters engraved on the back of the Mountain Ghost coin: Qian - Dui - Li - Zhen - Xun - Kan - Gen - Kun were clearly written and the coin was of good quality.
Looks like I'm really lucky today!
"Boss, this mountain ghost coin is of good quality. It stands to reason that if one can own a mountain ghost coin of this quality, his family shouldn't be short of money."
"Hey, little girl, you really are a connoisseur. To be honest, my ancestors were indeed wealthy and even princes! Now, they've almost squandered all their wealth, eh!"
The boss sighed and continued, "I'm a young man with a miserable life. I've never had a good life since I was a child. My parents were addicted to gambling and lost everything they had. Later, to avoid debt, they abandoned their child and the elderly. The child was raised entirely by the elderly. Now the elderly is seriously ill. He searched the house and found these six mountain ghost coins. He kept them secret from the elderly and consigned them for sale."
The boss is also an emotional person. At the end of his speech, he took off his glasses and wiped the corners of his eyes.
