Lan Ke Qi Yuan Chapter 364: Mr. Ji’s legal money

Although the tombs here can connect to the underworld to a certain extent, they can only accept sacrifices from relatives and friends of the descendants.

Of course it is impossible for Lu Shanjun to worship Dong Bicheng here, and even if the other party can hear a little bit of what he said during the sacrifice, it is not enough. It still has to be face to face.

After worrying for a long time in front of Dong Bicheng's tombstone, until Lu Shanjun left, Ji Yuan didn't know if he had thought of any suitable solution.

As soon as Lu Shanjun left, a faint mist gradually approached Dong Bicheng's grave, and finally revealed Ji Yuan's body.

Ji Yuan looked at the bluestone tombstone, which read "Tomb of beloved son Dong Bicheng." The person who erected the tombstone did not leave a name, so he must be Dong Bicheng's parents.

Looking around, there were some paper ashes and a few dishes, with some moldy tributes on them. The meat had probably been taken away by wild beasts.

"Hey, the white-haired person gives the black-haired person..."

The sighing words are still lingering, Ji Yuan has disappeared where he was, and when he reappears, he will be in the city of Laoyang Prefecture.

No matter how powerful Lu Shanjun is, it is basically impossible to pass through the gate of **** silently.

Ji Yuan has a good reputation among Dazhen ghosts and gods. At least in this underworld at the level of the city, if he reveals his identity, it will definitely not be a problem to bring someone in. However, he just said that he had something to leave before, and it has not been a few days yet. Then he jumped out to help. Wouldn't it be equivalent to telling Lu Shanjun clearly: "Your master, I will always follow you."

This made Ji Yuan quite dumbfounded. Of course, although he wanted to save face, if Lu Shanjun really couldn't do anything, he still had to help.

Thinking about these things, Ji Yuan bought some pancakes in the city and took them with him. Because of what he saw at Dong Bicheng’s tomb, he went to a rather special place on a whim.

On one of the streets in Miaosifang, Laoyang Prefecture City, Ji Yuan was walking slowly.

This street is a bit special. There is no shortage of pedestrians coming and going, but it is not very lively and people talk relatively quietly.

Because there are many special shops on this street, the common people call them "Ji Si", which refers to coffin shops, paper shops and other shops that deal with funeral and funeral related things.

Ji Yuan walked slowly on the street, his eyes wandering left and right, and then settled on a shop with almost no customers.

There is nothing special about this shop, so due to his eyesight, he couldn't see clearly what was written on the shop sign. He only knew that it was a paper shop.

The owner of the paper shop is an old man with a gray beard. He has small eyes, dark skin, and wrinkles squeezed together. I don’t know if he is smiling. In the early summer weather, he is still wearing several clothes, crackling everywhere. Turning the abacus.

Walking into the shop silently, Ji Yuan looked around. In this shop, there were paper people, paper horses, paper cars, paper beds, paper toilets, and a dazzling array of paper utensils, including paper money, paper ingots and the like. .

Ji Yuan has been a man for two lifetimes. This is the first time he entered a shop like this. He was a little curious. He approached a pile of paper money, took out a piece of paper and touched it. He saw that the white paper was cut into a circle on the outside and a square on the inside. When I took a closer look, I could vaguely see the mold mark printed with "Yin Yang Tong Bao". It looked much more advanced than what ordinary people would cut out with scissors.

Ji Yuan looked left and right in the store for a long time. The store owner accidentally raised his head and realized that someone was in the store.

"Hey, this guest, please don't touch the things in our store. They are all carefully made by craftsmen. They are just made of paper. They cannot withstand the tossing. If they are damaged, you will be compensated according to the price!"

Ji Yuan looked at him and nodded.

"Thank you for the reminder, Ji should handle it with care."

The store owner put down his abacus, stood up and walked out of the counter. He came to Ji Yuan's side and took a closer look. Although the man in front of him was wearing a simple white robe, he was elegant and elegant. The ink jade hairpin on his head was translucent and moist. It shouldn't be... Cheap goods.

The store owner's face immediately changed, and there were many wrinkles in his smile.

"Uh-huh, my guest has something to do at home and is here to purchase goods?"

"Not really, I just might give something to someone who has passed away. It is not convenient to bring anything in the ghost town of the underworld, so come here to have a look."

The old man walked around Ji Yuan and walked to him, smiling.

"My guest, you are at the right place. The things I have here are the most exquisite in the entire Laoyang City. Look at this paper man with regular features and a calm expression. This blush is made of authentic rouge and gouache. Bring the fragrance!”

Based on Ji Yuan’s experience, in fact, people in the real spiritual world may not understand such trivial matters related to the underworld, but it is often the people in the market with such close connections who can know a lot. As for whether it is true or not, Ji Yuan will know it after hearing it. I can tell the difference, so I asked.

"Shop, how do people in the underworld use these things and how do they collect them?"

The old man looked at Ji Yuan. This kind of gentle gentleman may be full of knowledge, but he knows very little about this custom.

"Sir, you don't know. Our shop is famous for its exquisite and polished items. We have hired a special mage to do the Dharma so that the items can go to the underworld. Please listen to me..."

The shopkeeper talked nonchalantly, roughly explaining that this kind of sacrificial items must be contained in order to be useful, otherwise they will not be able to reach the underworld.

If there is no skilled magician to cast spells, then it all depends on the willingness of relatives and friends during the sacrifice. If you sincerely mourn, things will have some effect. If it is just a formality, no matter how exquisite the thing is, it will only look good in appearance. Can't even get down there.

"I heard that things with magic power, such as paper money that has been blessed by a capable mage, then this paper money becomes magic money and can be burned to anyone. Relatives in the underworld can use some of the magic power in this magic money. , it’s easy to do anything!”

What the shopkeeper said is to show that the things in his store are not only exquisite, but also precious.

Ji Yuan listened with great interest, and even felt that many of them made sense, and was inspired by them. However, looking around the store, almost all the paper products contained no aura or magic power. The so-called brilliant mage cast spells. , is naturally nonsense.

The store owner thinks that Ji Yuanhui will be a big customer, and he doesn’t seem to know much about Bai Shi. This kind of customer is the favorite of the paper shop owner, and many of them will listen to the store owner’s suggestions.

So the store owner knows everything about Jiyuan, and strives to be enthusiastic and meticulous. He talks about a lot of related things and customs, from speculation to experience, and it makes his mouth dry. My tongue is dry, I finally came to the key part.

"Then how do you sell this paper figurine?"

Ji Yuan clicked on the paper maid introduced by the store at the beginning.

The store owner held out four fingers.

"Hey, forty coins apiece, you are a good boy, you can buy all the housekeepers, servants, servants and other servants, and you can get a discount!"

It was quite expensive. Ji Yuan immediately lost interest in buying one and turned his attention directly to the paper money. Seeing that the quality of the paper was not very good, it shouldn't be too expensive, but the paper money was cut very well, and with these marks, the quality was very good. The calculation is pretty good.

"What about this paper money?"

"Oh, this Yin Yang Tongbao, you can buy a thick stack of it for two cents. Don't look at it as just a stack of paper money. Our paper money is all printed with Tongbao. It takes a lot of ink. There is no other in the whole Laoyang Mansion. The semicolon, as the saying goes, is also a symbol of the ink mastery of literature and wisdom. Otherwise, why would the ink line be able to ward off evil spirits? ”

"Also, although the quality of this paper seems not to be good, our store guarantees its reputation. It uses locust wood and a little sandalwood as materials. The process is few but also exquisite. It is the best for making paper money. It is also suitable to be burned to the underworld, and it will also leave a lingering fragrance!”

The shopkeeper took out a stack of paper money from the square wooden skewer and pressed it very firmly. Each piece was very thin and densely packed. I don’t know how many there were. While showing it, he kept talking eloquently and enthusiastically. They all felt a little embarrassed.

Ji Yuan immediately took out two copper plates.

"Buy a stack."

"Okay, sir, what else do you want to buy? Look at this paper horse, it's lifelike, and this paper cart. If you buy two of them together, with the ancestor at the bottom, you can both ride a horse and drive a car. Well, the cart driver is the best. It’s better to buy one, no, buy a pair, so you can take care of them in turn!”

Ji Yuan smiled and waved.

"No, no, just buy a wad of paper money."

The smile of the old man in the store froze in an instant. He looked at Ji Yuan intently, but Ji Yuan did not dodge. It took him a long time to confirm that this person was serious, and the heat in his voice obviously cooled down.

"Please check out at the counter, I'll wrap it up for you."

"Okay."

No matter how thick-skinned Ji Yuan is, he still smiles in embarrassment at this moment, but it is still worth it to save two pennies and listen to so many things that are not recorded in the practice books.

After leaving the paper-making shop, Ji Yuan's steps were much faster than before. He could feel a resentful look from behind looking at him.

Two hours later, at the corner of an uninhabited alley in Laoyang Mansion, Ji Yuan was sitting there with a stack of paper money in his palm. The air of nothingness was wrapped around it and slowly seeped into the paper money.

Ji Yuan doesn’t know how to do that kind of ritual, but after listening to the shop owner of the paper shop, he can deduce some principles. In addition, he has the experience of refining the golden armored warrior. Find Shuyuan wwwｗ. zhaoshuyuan.com can draw parallels, so after dozens of failed attempts and wasting more than half of the paper money, Ji Yuan finally achieved a similar goal.

Gradually, the color of the paper money in the hand began to change to copper yellow, and it became thicker and thicker. The four characters Yin Yang Tong Bao on it also had a stronger texture, and even weighed much more.

This is not the paper money itself that will become like this, but the guidance of fate, similar to the alternative application of the image of the golden armored warrior when cutting paper. It is simple to say, but people who don’t understand the key points , no matter how high your magic power is, you will still be confused.

"Although it is simple, it still makes sense and is full of wisdom!"

Looking at the paper money in his hand, Ji Yuan couldn't help but sigh. This method of sealing mana and spiritual energy is undoubtedly a kind of "folk wisdom". Masters in the spiritual world will not consider these things, but there are Where there is demand, there is a market, and this should never be underestimated.

Moreover, this Dharma money should also have good circulation in the underworld. It is similar to the essence of the five elements in the spiritual world, but it is more clever. The former is still barter, and this Dharma money is for Although a master of spiritual practice is worthless, in the underworld, he is a real hard currency.

Of course, if the mana and spiritual energy reaches a certain level, and even monks can rely on it to cast spells or assist in some important formations and other things, perhaps this magic money will be more useful, but the structure needs to be more complex. More purity is needed.

However, in addition to the above problems, there is also a problem of production capacity. Even if it is perfected, it is likely to be a costly and time-consuming thing.

Ji Yuan looked at the banknotes in his hand that were becoming more and more like copper coins that were several sizes too big. Today's unintentional act made him think of many things subconsciously.
