Chapter 28 Drawing Talismans to Catch Ghosts
As soon as you enter the alley, you will see shop plaques hanging everywhere, of various styles and colors, forming a very distinctive attraction.
The old city is a tourist attraction in Jiangcheng. This alley called Chunli Lane is crowded with people at this time, many of whom are tourists from other places who come here for sightseeing and checking in.
Jiang Ruan Ning was almost out of the alley when she finally saw the store she was looking for.
In front of the store, there are four big red characters written on the signboard: "Fortune and Destiny".
When I walked in, I saw a lot of people in the shop, most of them were young people. The shop was filled with all kinds of small items for bringing good luck, including necklaces, bracelets, rings, Feng Shui ornaments, and lucky talismans.
Jiang Ruan Ning didn't look at the items displayed outside. She walked directly to the cashier and asked the boss standing in front of the counter: "Hello, do you have talisman paper, brushes, and cinnabar?"
The boss was a middle-aged man in his forties, who was lying on the counter playing with his phone. He replied without even looking up, "Yes, how much do you want?"
Jiang Ruan Ning thought for a moment and said, "Fifty pieces of talisman paper, 500 grams of cinnabar."
I will probably use these things frequently in the future, so I might as well buy more at one time.
The boss put down his phone, looked up at her, and was stunned to see that the person standing in front of him was a very young and beautiful girl.
Young girls who come to his store usually buy bracelets and necklaces to enhance their love luck and wealth.
"Little girl, you bought so many talisman papers and cinnabar. Do you have a spirit medium at home?" the boss asked curiously.
"No."
"Then what are you doing..."
Jiang Ruan Ning smiled slightly: "I use it to draw talismans."
The boss was stunned for a few seconds, then looked her up and down, and laughed twice: "You can also draw talismans? What kind of talismans, can they be used to catch ghosts?"
"Yes." Jiang Ruan Ning nodded, "It's used to catch ghosts."
“…”
The boss thought she was joking and didn't take it seriously. He laughed twice and said, "Little girl, you are teasing me. Where do ghosts come from in this world? Have you ever seen one? Then tell me, what does a ghost look like?"
Jiang Ruan Ning looked at him and said, "There are ghosts in this world, but most people can't see them. Ghosts don't actually have a fixed form. They change all the time. Sometimes they are a beam of light, sometimes a cloud of smoke, and sometimes a transparent human body."
“…”
The boss was teasing her on purpose, but she answered him so seriously and convincingly, as if she had really seen a ghost.
The boss was a little speechless for a moment, thinking that this was probably a non-mainstream thing, and buying talisman paper and cinnabar was probably just following the trend, so he said nothing more and turned around to get the things.
"Sister, can you really catch ghosts?" A weak voice sounded in my ears.
Jiang Ruan Ning turned her head and saw a girl of about seventeen or eighteen standing next to her. She was wearing a long-sleeved shirt and jeans and had a pretty face.
The girl had dark circles under her eyes and looked very tired.
Jiang Ruan Ning looked at the girl for a few seconds, then understood and said, "Did you make a bet with your friends a month ago and go to an abandoned cemetery?"
Li Juanjuan opened her eyes wide in astonishment: "Miss, how did you know?"
"After returning from the cemetery, you encountered strange things. You had nightmares every night, and in your dreams, you were harassed and frightened by the same ghost. As a result, you have not been able to rest well for more than a month."
"You are from another place, right? Are you here to relax in Jiangcheng?"
