Chapter 18: Paper Doll Buying Life Money

The maid was beside the lake. She tilted her head, and confusion seemed to appear in her small eyes.

“The river god is dead?
“Who killed him?
"Why can't I even sense the resentful spirit?"

Helplessness, confusion, and incomprehension arose in the maid's heart.

She had met this river god with her young master at that time. He was considered to be one of the most powerful spirits in the surrounding mountains, lakes and fields. Even if her young master wanted to deal with him, he would have to perform a ritual and offer precious gold and silver, rice and live pigs to defeat him.

However, after not seeing the river god for just one night, he died!

“Evil.”

After uttering two words expressionlessly, the maid prepared to go back and report.

But just as she turned around, she suddenly saw a Taoist priest with a crooked tall crown appear behind her.

Zuo Chen also stared at the little girl in front of him, looking her up and down with interest.

Just now he just felt a strange Qi, but now after seeing it seriously, Zuo Chen can be sure that the thing in front of him is probably an evil thing.

With her cheeks pulled up high, she doesn't even look like a living person.

"Girl, what are you doing by the river?" Zuo Chen asked with a smile.

The maid also looked at Zuo Chen in confusion.

In the maid's eyes, this Taoist seemed like an ordinary person without any Taoist skills, but for some reason, she felt a sense of danger.

"My young master ordered me to take a look at the fish in the river." The maid said, "My young master liked a fish in the river, but when I came to see it just now, the fish was dead."

Could this fish be the river god?

Judging from her tone, this young master of his family should be of good standard.

Could he be a monk?
But the energy in her body...

The person opposite is a ghost cultivator?

Zuo Chen became extremely alert.

He was looking for a Taoist monk, but he didn't expect to run into a ghost monk.

Nine out of ten ghost cultivators are bad, and one is particularly bad. It’s not that Zuo Chen is prejudiced against ghost cultivators, but to be honest, the Shangqing Thunder Method itself is incompatible with ghosts. One is extremely yang and strong, and the other is extremely yin and evil. They are naturally incompatible.

But the Qi in this maid's body was so weak that in Zuo Chen's opinion, it could almost be blown away by a gentle breath.

It is better to eat the colorful Qi produced by the river god.

Seeing Zuo Chen was silent, the maid said:

"You have nothing to do here, leave now."

After saying that, she reached into her arms, took out a few silver ingots, and threw them towards Zuo Chen.

Zuo Chen took it and waited for the silver to fall into his hand.

It felt cool and a little weird. Zuo Chen felt it for a few seconds and a strange smile appeared on his face.

"Little girl, your silver doesn't look that easy to take."

"You... aren't you afraid of the money to buy your life?" the maid asked curiously.

"Life-buying money?" Zuo Chen's smile gradually turned cold: "This is a good treasure. If it falls into the hands of a strong young man, these two taels of silver may cost him thirty or forty years of life. If it is a farmer who is a little older, your money may just buy his life!

"Small money, big business!"

The expressionless maid's eyes finally revealed obvious panic.

This life-buying money is a treasure refined by the young master, but it requires the burial objects of the dead and is soaked in special corpse water. Not to mention farmers, even if a few masters touch the silver, they will probably lose half their lives. But in the hands of this Taoist priest, it's like nothing happened!
The maid no longer hesitated and turned around to run.

Just as her body turned into a gust of cold wind and was about to blow away, she suddenly found Zuo Chen appeared behind her.

Zuo Chen reached out and lifted the maid by the back of her collar as if she were a cat.

"You gave me two taels of silver, so you must stay and have a good chat with me. How about you take me to see your young master?" After hearing Zuo Chen's words, the maid suddenly turned her head and opened her mouth in the direction of his head:

"Hoohoo!"

The cold wind blew directly in his face. Zuo Chen frowned slightly, and breathed out through his nose, directly pushing the breath back from the opponent.

The maid only felt a flash before her eyes, and it seemed as if a mountain was pressing down on her!

She only had time to let out a strange cry.

"puff!"

Zuo Chen felt his hand lighten, and when he looked into his palm, he discovered that what fell into his hand was a paper figure wrapped in wood and red paper.

This paper figure looks exactly like the maid just now, with red clothes, gray pants, white face and red cheeks.

The two of them were shaking towards the sky, but they had no spirituality at all.

The strange energy on her body was actually blown away by Zuo Chen's breath!
With a gentle lift, the paper man's limbs began to crackle under the weight, and then the entire paper man fell to the ground, turning into broken wood strips and paper.

Zuo Chen stood there, feeling a little embarrassed.

He didn't expect it to be so hard to resist.

Throwing away the paper figure, Zuo Chen squatted on the ground and studied it for a while, thinking that this might just be a trick used by the "young master".

It’s a pity that we don’t know where the young master is yet, otherwise Zuo Chen would really like to see how many karmic debts the ghost cultivator who refined this kind of life-buying money has.

Shaking his head slightly, Zuo Chen decided not to stay here any longer. He turned around and walked towards the escort agency.

……

In the Wenxiang Gang, a young man who was enjoying the shoulder massage service held the teapot in his palm, rubbed the lid on the teapot while closing his eyes to rest.

But before he could rub the lid of the pot twice, the maid behind him suddenly let out a strange cry, and the young man's hand shook, and the cup in his hand turned over.

The tea immediately spilled onto the young man's pants, completely wetting his crotch.

"you!?"

The young man turned around and looked at the maid angrily, but found that her eyes were wide open and she fell backwards.

puff.

Then it fell to the floor.

When I looked again, she had turned into a paper figure again. How could she still look as lively as before?
"this?"

The young man's anger dissipated, replaced by panic.

This is the precious paper figurine given to him by his grandfather!
Why did it suddenly break?!
You know, these two paper figures are quite capable themselves. With the treasures they carry, they can kill even a famous hero in the martial arts world. Plus, the true energy passed in from their grandfather makes the two sisters come alive, like real people.

It's impossible for it to break down suddenly!

The young man quickly took out a compass, fiddled with it a few times, and his eyes suddenly became gloomy.

The maid he sent to the riverside also died!
It seemed that his maid met some master by the river, who killed her with a magic spell, and also dissipated the true energy of her sisters.

Who in Qingzhou City is so powerful? !

Do we still need to offer sacrifices to the river god tomorrow?

The young man was confused for a moment.

After thinking it over, he gritted his teeth and took out a stick of incense from his arms.

"I have to report this to my grandfather."

he muttered.
