Chapter 5: Xuanwu Hall
Jiang Chu explained: "The beef should be a tribute to the evil spirit. If you eat the tribute, it will have a reason to occupy your body."
Mu Jianguo bowed again and said, "Master Jiang, no matter what you ask for in the future, as long as it does not harm the interests of the country, our Mu family will do our utmost to fulfill it for you."
Jiang Chu chuckled: "If you really want to thank me, donate a little more money to help build infrastructure."
Mu Jianguo didn't expect her to answer like this: "Master Jiang is not only a master of Taoism, but also has a level of ideological awareness that is far beyond the reach of others."
"This is what you should do as a Chinese citizen." Jiang Chu added, "Tomorrow I will give you a yellow talisman to prevent any more villains from causing trouble."
"After this incident, your house has been infiltrated by evil spirits. If you stay here for a long time, you'll be unlucky at best, or seriously ill at worst."
"I can set up a purification array for you, but you'll have to pay for the jade needed for the array's eye."
When the Mu family heard that ghost energy could cause bad luck and illness, they had no doubts at all, because they had been really unlucky these past few days.
Just now, Li Xuemei almost broke her leg when she went down the stairs, and the nanny also injured several people.
Li Xuemei hurriedly took off the jade hairpin on her head and handed it to Jiang Chu: "Master Jiang, is this jade hairpin okay?"
The lily of the valley is snow-white all over and feels warm to the touch, and it is obvious that it is not an ordinary item.
Jiang Chu took it: "Okay."
The Mu family asked all the servants to come and help Jiang Chu.
An hour later, the formation was basically completed.
After Jiang Chu placed the jade hairpin into the center of the formation, the formation enveloped the entire Mu family.
Everyone in the Mu family felt lightened, and the fatigue of many days was swept away.
Jiang Chu looked at Mu Jianguo and said, "The jade hairpin will be taken out by this time tomorrow."
Mu Jianguo looked at his own building and thought about his recent misfortunes. He thought it was time to change the layout of his home. "I wonder if Master Jiang can arrange a feng shui layout? Of course, we will pay you a fee. You set the price."
Jiang Chu nodded slightly: "Okay."
Mu Jianguo breathed a sigh of relief.
After a busy morning at the pond and Mu's house, it is already noon.
Jiang Chu took the money he had just earned and went to the street to buy yellow paper and cinnabar.
There is an ancient street in Kyoto that has existed for a long time, and most of the items sold there are antiques and yellow talismans.
Jiang Chu's target is a store called "Xuanwutang".
Jiang Chu always bought his talisman paper and cinnabar from this store. He also helped the store owner deal with several supernatural incidents, and the two had a good relationship.
But this is all in the future. The shop owner Jiang Chu knows now is just a little kid of two or three years old.
Thinking of this, Jiang Chu stepped into the Xuanwu Hall.
There was a crackling sound in the air. In front of the hall sat an old man with a white beard, using an abacus. When he saw Jiang Chu come in, he glanced at him casually and ignored him.
Jiang Chu walked up to him and said, "I want four bundles of yellow talismans, five pounds of cinnabar, and a talisman pen."
The old man slowly went to the back to get something.
While waiting, Jiang Chu wandered around the store. Many of the items were ordinary antiques that were basically useless to her.
The old man prepared the things in a short while: "Twenty yuan."
Jiang Chu's heart was bleeding. He bargained with him: "Can you make it cheaper?"
The old man looked at her and then at the door.
Get out if you don’t give me money!
Jiang Chu paid the money while comforting himself, saying that it was okay, it was okay, and he would be able to earn the money back soon.
The old man went back to doing the calculations.
Jiang Chu casually dipped his finger in some cinnabar and twisted it on his finger: "Top-grade cinnabar, the money was not wasted."
He took a piece of talisman paper from the side and placed it on the table. He touched his index finger with cinnabar and hovered it above the paper. He was about to write when he was interrupted by the old man.
"To draw a talisman, one must first purify the body and mind. After resting for seven days, one can start drawing with the brush. Furthermore, the brush must be used at a specific time."
"Whose family are you from? How come you don't even know such basic things?"
Jiang Chu said sincerely: "I used to draw like this."
The old man sighed, pulled out a book from the bookshelf behind him and threw it to Jiang Chu: "You should read the book first. At your current level, it would be a waste of materials."
Jiang Chu easily caught the book and took a look at it - "Introduction to the Primary Talisman Master"
Jiang Chu flipped it over casually and threw it back: "No need."
The old man put the book back and said no more.
It wasn't his money that was wasted anyway. Jiang Chu curled his lips, and his index finger, imbued with spiritual power, left red lines on the yellow paper.
When the last step was taken, the yellow talisman flashed with golden light, and a golden mark appeared in the lower right corner.
The talisman Jiang Chu drew was a storage talisman she created herself. As the name suggests, it can store objects.
Jiang Chu injected spiritual power into the talisman, packed up everything on the table, and left.
The old man's pupils trembled when he saw her actually draw the talisman, and his eyes lit up when he saw the effect of the talisman. He ran from the counter to the door at an astonishing speed and stopped Jiang Chu: "Fellow Daoist, can you let me see that talisman?"
Jiang Chu's eyes drooped, and he tightly covered the pocket of talisman paper, his face full of vigilance: "What do you want to do?"
The old man waved his hand, no longer holding himself up like before, his tone more respectful. "My name is He Yuan, I'm the owner of this shop. I usually sell some talismans. I'm just curious what kind of talisman you have in your hand. It can actually store items."
Jiang Chu relaxed and handed the talisman directly to him: "Then take a look."
"Thank you, fellow Daoist."
He Yuan carefully took the talisman and saw that there was a golden mark next to it.
This is the symbol of a high-level talisman!
He Yuan's inner shock could no longer be described in words.
He actually drew a high-level talisman with his bare hands!
Ordinary Taoist priests can only draw talismans on paper. He has never seen many talismans in his life, let alone high-level talismans.
This level of achievement could probably only be achieved by the top-level old Taoist priests in the Xuanmen sect, but this little girl looked to be in her early twenties, and he had never heard of such a person in the Xuanmen sect.
"May I ask what this talisman is called? Who created it?"
He Yuan has been dealing with people from the Xuanmen for so many years that it can be said that there is no talisman that he does not recognize, but he certainly does not recognize the one drawn by Jiang Chu.
Jiang Chu chuckled: "I came up with it on my own. I call it a storage talisman."
"Did you create this?" He Yuan looked at the talisman in his hand. A surge of heat rushed to his head, and his cheeks burned. "Just now, I didn't know that you... No, Your Excellency, I didn't know that you were an otherworldly master. How offensive your words were."
"Nothing." Jiang Chu waved his hand gently, with the attitude of a hermit.
He Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and returned the talisman to Jiang Chu: "I wonder if you could sell me a few. Of course, the price will definitely not be bad for you. How about I give you 500 yuan each?"
This was already comparable to her handling a commission. Jiang Chu was thrilled, but she only nodded reservedly: "Not bad, how much do you want?"
He Yuan said cautiously, "Ten."
This is already five thousand yuan. Jiang Chu immediately took out the cinnabar and yellow talisman: "I'll give it to you now."
This time she still used her fingers to paint, and it was done smoothly and in one go.
Two minutes later, ten high-level talismans were placed in front of He Yuan.
He Yuan hurriedly took out the money he had prepared and looked at Jiang Chu with shining eyes: "If you are interested in selling talismans in the future, could you please consider our shop first? Of course, your cinnabar and yellow paper will be provided by our shop free of charge."
This treatment was the same as in Jiang Chu's previous life, so Jiang Chu agreed without hesitation.
The money I have doubled again, and today is indeed a good day for me.
