After work in the evening, the same process as Yi Qingqing’s birthday a few days ago was followed, and everyone celebrated Yun Guyuan’s birthday again.

He might have expected some of this and was not surprised at all.

This time, it was Yi Qingqing who cooked the meal.

It was already dark after the meal. Yi Qingqing saw everyone off, closed the door, and began to prepare for today's worship activities.

The things she was going to burn were now all placed in the living room of the thatched hut. There were quite a lot of things, and she divided them according to the people she was going to worship and put them in bamboo baskets, which would make it convenient to take them directly when the time came.

Yi Qingqing came to the backyard in the dark with a shovel and dug nine small fire pits at the foot of the courtyard wall according to the people she wanted to worship.

Six of them were for her teachers with names and surnames, and the remaining three were for people like Master Yi and others who died in this era with no one to worship them, one for a wandering ghost, and the last one for a passing ghost.

Burn the petition first, then light the incense, and finally burn other things.

In order to prevent the fire from being too big, Yi Qingqing burned very slowly, basically only starting the next item after the previous one was almost burned.

Even so, the nine fire pits still illuminated the base of the wall.

Fortunately, the fire was not strong and the light was blocked by the courtyard wall. At most, if you got closer, you would find that her yard seemed to be brighter overall.

Yi Qingqing had looked around the village in advance. At this season, the grass and trees were lush, and the roof of the educated youth site could be seen at the bottom of the slope, but further down it was hidden by the trees and grass.

This feeling of brightness can only be seen by someone who comes to the path on the slope in the middle of the night.

But today is the Ghost Festival. Even though science is being promoted now, tradition is not so easy to erase, especially in the countryside. No one would go out in the middle of the night on this day.

Let’s start with Mr. Li, who has the longest seniority.

People like him who lived in extremely long time ago are most likely reincarnated.

But even if you are reincarnated, it won’t matter what is burned.

He cannot receive it, but he has the petition. Even if the thing does not fall into his hands, the underworld will take it, which can also accumulate blessings for him.

The smoke from the incense sticks lit for Master Li and Master Bai dissipated into thin air, which meant that the incense was wasted and no one took it.

The smoke from the incense that was lit for other teachers later condensed and did not dissipate. It rose straight up and finally disappeared. According to Master Bai, this meant that someone had received it.

When Yi Qingqing saw this scene, she felt as if she had really connected with the teachers she had never met.

When the stone monkey burned the petitions for the teachers, she would always say one sentence:

"By chance, I, Yi Qingqing, have been taught knowledge and skills by the teacher, and I have benefited a lot from them. I cannot tell anyone about the process, so I can only express my gratitude in this way. I hope that the teacher can have enough food and clothing in his netherworld and no longer suffer from the hardships of life."

As for the gifts to lonely ghosts and underworld officials, it is similar. In short, it is just a small token of appreciation, hoping that they will take care of their teachers.

As a person who has been to the underworld and experienced a second life, and also learned funeral skills, I am really serious when I say these words.

Section 137

After all, she had seen with her own eyes that the ghosts and ghost messengers in the underworld were actually pretty much the same as living people, so these bribes should be quite effective.

During the worship process, she did not encounter any supernatural events and everything went smoothly.

In the dark night without any moonlight, in this small courtyard, she was alone, quietly burning nine offerings.

But from another perspective, it is very lively.

July 15th is the day when ghosts enjoy the worship of their descendants and return home to visit relatives.

Apart from the burial site, the memorial offerings have the greatest impact on the ghosts.

In this era, many ghosts come on this day with great excitement and leave empty-handed. The attraction of worship is huge for ghosts.

Zheng Zhiyin and Lin Yibai just wanted to return to the world of the living to revisit their hometown and see what their motherland looks like today. They never thought that they would pay homage to the ancestors, and do it together.

After they followed the traction and arrived here, they found that this was a completely unfamiliar place, and the people who were worshipping them were also completely strangers.

It wasn’t too far from the place where they were dead.

Who is this little girl?

The two of them floated above the fire pit that belonged to them, enjoying this rare worship. The clothes they were wearing, which were full of patches and holes when they died, were changed into their favorite clothes when they were alive.

These clothes were given to them by the little girl who had just burned them in the fire pit.

Listening to her whispered words during the worship, Zheng Zhiyin glanced at her husband: "Student? Why don't I remember that I have such a young student?"

"I don't have any impression either." Lin Yibai looked at the little girl burning the offerings seriously and examined the brush and drawing paper that suddenly appeared in her hand. "But these are indeed what I often used before the accident. She knows us very well."

At this time, another ghost appeared next to them, wearing rags similar to the ones they wore before, "Lao Wang? You're here too? Is this also your student?"

They were on the same farm before they died. Old Wang died two years before them, and they still live together in the afterlife.

Wang Wenyang, who had just arrived, carefully looked at the people who were paying homage to him and found them very unfamiliar.

At this time, an old man with a white beard spoke up: "You are also living in the assigned room of the underworld, right? The price of this assigned room is that your soul memory will be read and useful things will be archived. You may not have signed the contract in this life and have forgotten it. This girl calls herself our student. She must have got some opportunities related to this. Some people are born with opportunities and do not follow the normal reincarnation channel."

"What? Doesn't everyone have an allocated house?" Lin Yibai asked puzzledly.

When he and his wife died, each of them had only a small mound of earth, without even a coffin, so it was impossible for anyone to live in. Later, they heard that there were allocated houses in the underworld, so they went there, thinking that everyone had one.

"Wait, you look familiar, is that Mr. Yi?" Wang Wenyang had been looking at the old man since he spoke. A long time ago, when he first arrived at the farm, an old Chinese doctor passed away. He saw the man's appearance and was deeply impressed.

"Exactly." Yi Qi stroked his beard, "Who are you?"

"We all have been to Daxing Farm, right? You were the first. When you passed away, I had just arrived. Xiaolin and Xiaozheng came even later." Wang Wenyang said.

Old Master Yi has been in the underworld for many years. He stroked his beard and said, "There may be a reason for this. This place is not far from the farm. Yi girl may have got the opportunity there."

"Doesn't this mean that all our learning has not been buried with us? This girl's hands show that she has the potential to play a musical instrument. I wonder what her musical sense is like. Old Lin, I'm so happy!"

Zheng Zhiyin was happier about this than the offerings she received. It could be said that she broke down and died in depression because her hands were worn out and she could no longer hold the strings. Her love for music surpassed everything else, and it was a great comfort that there was someone to succeed her.

"Judging from the patterns on these paper-made items, Yi Yatou should have learned Western painting from me. I don't know how long she has been learning it, but she's quite good at painting," Lin Yibai said with satisfaction.

"Look, look at the words on this petition. You can tell I learned them from me. They're so beautiful!" Wang Wenyang said proudly.

"This girl is really hardworking. There are still two people over there who haven't come yet. She has learned a lot! All the people living here are young people. They should be educated youth. The educated youth have a lot of work to do on weekdays. Don't overwork yourself!" Zheng Zhiyin said with some concern.

"Look at the Chinese medicine shop and medicinal materials she set up for me. She must have learned Chinese medicine from me. I think she has taken good care of her body." The more Mr. Yi saw it, the more he liked it.

From the fact that she paid tribute to teachers she had never met, I knew that she was a grateful and kind-hearted child. She was in good health as well, which showed that she learned well from me and was able to learn so many things at the same time. She must be a smart person.

He is both virtuous and capable, a good candidate for studying medicine!

But everyone's energy is limited. No, he has to use some of the money to fulfill his dream. Those writing and painting things that only cultivate sentiments and have no practical use are just for fun. He should concentrate on learning Chinese medicine on his own.

Otherwise, he would be very angry if he thought about how these things of his ancestors were thrown away by these unworthy descendants.

Oh, and you have to keep it hidden. Don’t take it out until the situation gets better! Safety is the most important thing!

Thinking of this, he went to consult a passing ghost who was enjoying the offerings at the other end.

Since he is enjoying the offerings from his beloved disciple, could he be a little more considerate and give him a discount?

With this evil messenger around, all the wandering ghosts passing by are very obedient. He must be a very powerful person.

A powerful non-official eunuch named Yun looked at the familiar figure busy in the yard and rubbed his brows.

Today is July 15th, and as a non-staff eunuch he has the mandatory task of maintaining public order for several hours.

But today, after finishing my meal and returning to my room not long after, I felt a gloomy aura rising from Yi Qingqing's room.

There is also a very good offering in the middle.

Even though Qingqing had her own aura that made it impossible for ghosts and gods to harm her, he was still very worried. After his soul left his body, he followed the traction and came here, and then he saw this scene.

That’s right, this person is Yun Guyuan.

Yi Qingqing has her own secrets, and so does he.

He has had the ability to see ghosts and spirits since he was a child. When his mother remarried and left him unattended, he almost starved to death at first. Later, he picked up a piece of Yin Ling that only he could see.

From then on, he became a ghost messenger as a living person.

Because he is still alive, he is not allowed to enter the underworld and can only be a non-staff member temporarily.

Because they are still living people and can influence reality, they cannot see the soul-calling tasks and can only perform some tasks to manage the souls trapped in the world of the living.

Only after entering the underworld can you be officially enlisted.

However, the salary earned from these tasks can also be converted into money in the world of the living. It was with this that he got through the most difficult times when he was a child.

Although Yun Guyuan had never been to the underworld and didn't know much about it, after listening to what these ghosts said, he also guessed some things.

His Qingqing is really amazing. He has learned so many things at the same time. The incense he makes is really good. Even these ingots are rare commodities nowadays. If they are stored in the Yin Order and converted into money in the Yang world, the exchange rate will be lower.

Although he didn't know what her opportunity was, Yun Guyuan was happy and proud of her.

Yun Guyuan was naturally very polite to her teachers. As for their idea of ​​sending messages in dreams, he had no such service, but he also knew a ghost messenger in the company, so he called him and introduced him to them.

Yes, at this moment, not only Master Yi wanted to send a dream to secretly tell his beloved disciple to concentrate on studying medicine with him and not worry about other things, but several other teachers also had their own ideas and wanted to talk to their student, understand her learning progress in the dream, and care about her recent situation.

Yi Qingqing was still worshipping her teachers devoutly, imagining them receiving gifts and living a good life in the afterlife.

She had never expected that her courtyard would be so popular at this moment.

The newly arrived ghost messenger has already taken on several dream-telling jobs, so her dream tonight might be a little crowded.

Finally, everything was burned, and when the fire was completely extinguished, she filled the fire pit and restored it to its original state.

[Worship lonely ghosts on the Ghost Festival, merit +5, reward sign-in points × 5]

[On the Ghost Festival, pay tribute to those who have been persecuted and died in the past twenty years, gain +5 merits, and receive 5 sign-in points as rewards]

[When the merit exceeds 10, the system will be upgraded and a new magical item will be available in the system store. Please check it out in time! ]

Yi Qingqing was startled by the long-lost message prompt from the sign-in system.

She finally got merit again! This time it was 10 points of merit and the 10-point sign-in point. This was a pleasant surprise.

This time it has been confirmed that sign-in points can be rewarded at the same time as merits are gained, and the amount should be equal to the amount of merits.

In addition to automatically obtaining a sign-in point every day and sign-in points as skill upgrade rewards, she has discovered a new way to obtain sign-in points.

She also figured out some tricks to gain merit, and it is definitely necessary to do good.

It is not necessary to save a life. She may be kind-hearted and may also gain merit by offering sacrifices to some lonely ghosts and spirits that have nothing to do with her.

Does that mean that if she keeps worshipping, she will continue to gain merit?

Yi Qingqing felt that it was not that simple.

First of all, the supplies for worship are not easy to make, but even so, if one could really continue to gain merit using this method, it would be too easy.

She always remembered the system's reminder not to be too obsessed with earning merits, as it might have the opposite effect.

But if she doesn't try now, she still won't be able to send a private message.

Next time I’ll prepare some paper-made items and give it a try. Just try it once. If it doesn’t work, I’ll just let it go.

She made her decision quickly.

Regardless of whether it would be successful or not, this unexpected surprise was still worth being happy about. She packed up her things and went back to the house, intending to take a good look at what new magical things the system store had added.

Although there are not many items in the system store, every item sold is a genuine high-quality product, good things that cannot be bought with money in real life. It just requires a little sign-in point, so I hope it won’t be that expensive this time!
