Becoming a Taoist Master by Walking on the Underworld

Chapter 47 Didn’t I travel through time in vain?

Chen Yushu's face became serious and he nodded again.

He was indeed reckless before.

The main reason is that he knows too little about this business.

Although Li Chao's Records of Seeing Ghosts introduced many things about the trades in bits and pieces and mentioned many taboos and rules, he did not mention the taboos in the area of ghost walking.

Of course, he also knew that nothing was absolute.

It doesn't mean that he can't do secret things in the future.

The characteristic of people who walk in the underworld is that they walk in the underworld, communicate with ghosts and spirits, and solve many problems based on the demands of these things. If they do not walk in the underworld, many things cannot be done.

But it must be done in a relatively safe place.

For example, Jianghuan Town is a human settlement after all, and is guarded by departments like the Zhenyinsi. Even if there are some powerful beings, most of them are controllable.

Otherwise, he would have been removed by someone with more advanced skills.

In addition, each village generally has an ancestral hall. The "spirits" in the ancestral hall can mostly only protect the villagers and do not have much killing power.

So it is relatively safe.

You should be especially careful when you are in the wild or in places where there are natural gatherings of evil spirits.

"As for the last door."

Liu Qiaoer paused for a moment, then decided to let Chen Yushu choose for himself, and asked, "Which 'art' do you want to learn?"

"What kind of 'skill'?"

Chen Yushu asked back, feeling somewhat surprised and delighted. Could he still choose by himself?
He had never experienced this kind of happy trouble.

But he also knew that the opportunity was rare, so he started thinking about it quickly.

The two "skills" before were, one was the Fu Yin Jue, and the other was the Wang Qi Shu.

The Fu Yin Jue is a technique for dealing with ghosts and monsters. It is a method of attack. Of course, its actual killing power is not great. It serves the purpose of suppressing and oppressing.

The art of looking at qi is a method of waiting and seeing, and its greater function is actually to seek benefits and avoid harm.

Both have their own advantages and disadvantages, and both are indispensable to him, and he is very satisfied with them.

"Attack, defense, escape, and support. Now I already have 'attack' and 'support', so what I lack is 'defense' and 'escape'?"

Chen Yushu's eyes moved slightly, and when he was about to make a plan, he suddenly saw the little girl with two pigtails playing alone in the yard.

He had asked before, and found out that the little girl was Liu Qiaoer's ghost, who believed in ghosts.

Don't underestimate its small size and seemingly non-threatening nature, but it plays a big role. It is good at sending and delivering letters, exploring paths and fighting.

So, as if a blessing had come to his mind, the words he said before he opened his mouth became: "Sister Qiao'er, for this last 'art', I will choose the art of raising little ghosts, right?"

"Um?

You are quite picky.”

Liu Qiaoer was stunned, but did not refuse. She nodded in agreement.

"This little ghost is not something you can just catch and raise just by finding a wandering ghost on the street.

A selection must be made first.

Don't do anything that brings injustice or bad luck.

Those who are more than three years old are not allowed.

Those with unclean backgrounds are not accepted either...and due to these reasons, most of these little ghosts are weak and are bullied wherever they go. They are unable to reincarnate and can only wander around.

Little ghosts, most of them are very pitiful.

Just like my little Yin, who was a stillborn baby in three lifetimes.

He died at birth and had been with his original mother ever since. He finally waited until his mother became pregnant with her second child, but before he could be reincarnated, the second child also died.

She waited for ten months for her third child, but before the birth, her mother was murdered by her concubine and made to drink an abortion drug...so the third child also died in the womb, and she completely lost the chance of reincarnation, and could no longer enter the cycle of rebirth. She could only wander alone in the world until I encountered it.

So once you decide to raise a little ghost, you must not bully it or abandon it easily."

Liu Qiaoer looked at Xiaoyin who was playing outside the door, then looked at Chen Yushu seriously and said.

"I understand!"

Chen Yushu's face became serious and he nodded quickly.

There was also a hint of pity in his eyes when he looked at Xiaoyin.

Three stillbirths.

This experience is truly tragic and pitiful.

The so-called true transmission can be conveyed in one sentence, while false transmission requires ten thousand books. Liu Qiaoer wrote down the three "techniques" in one go, in less than half an hour.

The exact number of words is only about 800.

But every sentence is full of gems, without any hidden code or mystery, and every word is straightforward, so people can understand it at a glance.

After Chen Yushu received it, he felt like he had found a treasure. He read it several times before carefully putting it away.

“Thank you, Sister Qiao’er.

I will collect the thirty taels of silver as soon as possible and send it to you."

Chen Yushu clenched his hands and bowed solemnly to Liu Qiaoer.

“You’re welcome.

Being a Yin person is not an easy job.

You should be more careful yourself.”

Liu Qiaoer waved her hand and walked out of the study.

"Um, Sister Qiaoer."

Chen Yushu opened his mouth and called her, then, after a moment's hesitation, he said, "If I want to learn the art again in the future, can I still buy it from you?"

Although I feel embarrassed, I am also a little greedy.

But he knew that this was his easiest chance to learn the "art" passed down by the Yin-walking people, so he naturally didn't want to give up.

“This is a ‘technique’.

The basis for saving life.

I’m selling these three to you at a very low price, especially since we’re from the same village and grew up together.

so……"

Who knew that Liu Qiaoer's bottom line was also very flexible, and then she said: "You have to pay more.

And no credit is allowed.”

"it is good.

no problem!"

Chen Yushu was overjoyed and immediately agreed.

Then, Chen Yushu arranged for Liu Qiaoer to rest in a guest room nearby.

He ran back to the kitchen, lit the charcoal fire, and started to boil the medicine.

The one that is fried is naturally Yangyuan Soup.

As he has been busy today, he hasn't practiced martial arts yet.

He would drink a bowl of Yangyuan Soup every day without fail and he didn't want to delay it because of other things.

“However, this is the last portion of Yang Yuan Soup.

After drinking it this time, I’ll have to buy it again.

Otherwise, the efficiency of martial arts training will drop."

Chen Yushu drank the Yangyuan Soup in one gulp, but his brows furrowed slightly.

He really didn't have much money left.

The talisman paper, talisman ink and other items he bought today cost him twenty taels of silver. Adding the four taels of silver he had spent previously, he now only had six taels of silver left.

Six taels of silver can only buy two servings of Yangyuan Soup at most.

To him, it's just a drop in the bucket.

Not to mention.

He still owed Liu Qiaoer thirty taels of silver.

In addition, if he wants to continue to learn the "art" inherited by the Yin Walker in the future, he will need to find Liu Qiaoer to buy it, which will inevitably cost a large sum of money...

"Poor! Poor! Poor!

In the previous life, I was oppressed by the mortgage and struggled to make ends meet. Even if I chose to lie down, I would still receive a collection bill every month.

Now, my memory has been awakened, and I have been reborn through time travel, but I still have to run around for a few pieces of silver. Isn’t it a waste that I have traveled through time and space?”

Chen Yushu took a deep breath, feeling somewhat helpless.
