Yi Qingqing swallowed her saliva and said, "Master Bai, have you ever encountered a dead person returning goods?"
"No," said Master Bai.
"Then why did you scare me? I thought..."
Before Yi Qingqing finished speaking, she heard Master Bai say, "Humans and ghosts are different. The dead usually don't come directly to you to return the goods. Instead, they take the compensation from you without you noticing."
"What, what does that mean?" Yi Qingqing found it more and more creepy the more she listened.
Master Bai said calmly, "It means you have to fold it well. If it doesn't meet the standard, you can't sell it. Otherwise, it will damage your virtue. You will understand when you go down there. We are in this business. You must remember this rule and can't be careless!"
Yi Qingqing: "..."
No, she is not in this line of work, she just wants to make some living paper figures for fun.
Moreover, given the current market conditions, I dare not do this business, as people will accuse me of being feudal and superstitious.
Yi Qingqing glanced at Master Bai and said tentatively: "Master Bai, these things are forbidden now, do you know?"
Master Bai: “…”
She didn't say anything, as if she was a paper man and couldn't hear what Yi Qingqing said.
Okay, Yi Qingqing understood, this is a topic other than paper-making.
Then she changed her question and asked, "Master Bai, what does this gold ingot look like after it is activated? Can you show me how to do it? This way I can be more motivated."
This is a topic related to teaching, and Master Bai has no objection.
He immediately took out a piece of gold paper and said, "Look carefully."
Section 76
Yi Qingqing nodded, her eyes fixed on Master Bai's hand.
The same method and steps of folding the ingots, but this time, it was very different from the first time she taught herself to fold it.
It's not about the action, but about the feeling or the momentum.
It's hard to describe it in words.
But with every movement of her flying fingers, Yi Qingqing could find that the gold paper was becoming more and more textured, and even emitting a bright golden light.
After the last movement, a thin layer of sweat appeared on Master Bai's forehead, the light converged, and the texture and creases of the entire gold ingot paper disappeared.
Instead, it was replaced by the same golden texture as the box of small yellow croakers in his box.
Master Bai threw the ingot to her, and Yi Qingqing caught it in a panic.
The feeling in your hand is exactly the same as gold, heavy and magical.
Wouldn't it be possible to fold a mountain of gold and silver with these two hands? As long as they were not soaked in a lot of water or burned with a strong fire, they would be almost as good as real gold.
Yi Qingqing's thoughts diverged, "Master Bai, if your craftsmanship is good enough, can you fold a house for yourself? Can you fold clothes and jewelry by hand? Can you fold an obedient pet for yourself, such as a panda? I want to see!"
Master Bai's hands trembled a little. "It is very spiritual to fold paper using Dian Ling's technique, and it must be completed in one go, so the bigger the piece, the harder it is. And the house you mentioned, the one that can be lived in by a living person, is so big that I can't fold it even if I die of exhaustion. Clothes and jewelry are OK, and as for small pets, they are similar to paper figures, and can also be made. Just work hard on your own, and don't always rely on the master. Also, Dian Ling's works can be used for personal use, but you cannot pass them off as genuine products and sell them as real ones. For example, gold ingots will..."
"Knowing this will damage your virtue!" Yi Qingqing understood clearly.
She shouldn't do bad things. Not only will it damage the good karma she will receive after death, but she will also not get any merit.
"Of course, as long as you declare that it is a paper product, you can name your price. After all, the gold ingots made by Dian Ling are worth a mountain of gold ingots when burned for the ancestors. They are truly rare hard currency down there."
Yi Qingqing had just decided to be honest and not make money by making paper-made things even if she learned some spiritual skills in the future, but then Master Bai said this to her.
Is this encouraging her to ask for an exorbitant price?
Moreover, "Such an amazing paper-made work is actually burned for the dead, right?"
"Yes, otherwise why would I open a funeral shop?" Master Bai said as a matter of course, "But we can use it ourselves. It's not auspicious to give it to others. After all, this thing is used by the underworld and attracts ghosts. But as long as we declare it is a paper-made product in advance and pay for it, we can't control what others do with it. We ourselves are not afraid. If we make too many qualified paper-made products, they will have their own aura, which makes it difficult for negative energy to enter our bodies."
After all this time, paper-tying can also be used for self-defense? Yi Qingqing felt that she had accepted too many new things in the day, but she was still very curious about one thing.
"Master Bai, have you become a wealthy woman down there?"
After all, she was dressed like this, and the funeral shop in reality had long since disappeared, which meant that Master Bai was not a modern person and should have passed away!
If you have this skill, you can save up a bunch of spiritual paper supplies for yourself before you die, and burn a mountain of gold. Then, when you get to the underworld, won't you be able to walk sideways?
Master Bai: “…”
Once again, we have touched upon the issue of being out of scope.
Yi Qingqing didn't give up, and asked in a different way: "Master Bai, if we save a lot of paper-made items for ourselves before we die, will we become rich women in the underworld?"
"Yes, and selling these high-quality funeral supplies can also accumulate good karma, which will bring many benefits to the underworld. Study hard," said Master Bai.
Yi Qingqing understood that, running a traditional funeral shop that sells purely handmade and carefully made funeral supplies, may not make a lot of money while alive, but the blessings will come after death!
Although the paper-making skill seems to be useless in the early stage, she must learn it, not only to learn some spiritual skills, but also to make her life more comfortable after death, to prepare for a rainy day.
Yi Qingqing didn't doubt Master Bai's words about the underworld at all. After all, she had been there herself and knew that souls really existed. Moreover, the technology seemed to be quite advanced. She had a deep memory of the colorful lottery machine.
Death suddenly doesn’t seem so scary anymore, because after death there is no need to rush to reincarnate in the underworld, and it seems that there is not much difference between being alive and dying?
I kind of regret not learning more from the ghost catcher about the settlement policies and living conditions in the underworld.
Isn't it just funeral supplies? It's auspicious! Who doesn't die?
Yi Qingqing figured it out and became full of energy.
