Infinite Puzzle City

Chapter 370: Passing Seal

"This thing is indeed a cursed object."

Xiao Ran did not activate it rashly, but held the thing steadily in his hand.

Mr. Zhou Er stared at Xiao Ran for a long time, his eyes gradually changed from worry to surprise, until a familiar aura surged from Xiao Ran, he couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise: "Ghost Messenger!!"

Only after Xiao Ran put away the seal did Zhou Erye finally unable to help but sigh.

"The disciple is better than the master. No wonder you are so confident. It turns out that you have already obtained an official position in the underworld. This is incredible."

"Haha, it was a fluke. I just happened to catch it."

Xiao Ran laughed and didn't continue the conversation on this topic. After all, the things were already in his hands, and he should tactfully leave.

"Grandpa Zhou, I have already accepted this thing. I will repay the Zhou family for what they owe me in the future. This time I owe them a favor. If you need me in the future, just let me know."

After saying that, Xiao Ran bowed and said, "It's getting late, Grandpa Zhou, I'm going back first."

"Oh, go, go, I just hope you won't blame me in the future."

Mr. Zhou nodded and waved his hand, indicating that Xiao Ran could leave.

Hey, what's the difference between you taking the things and leaving and someone just pulling up their pants and leaving.

In fact, when you are out, whether asking someone to do something for you or doing business, you should leave as soon as you have finished your work. The later you leave, the more likely it is that something unexpected will happen.

You have to be cautious, and the customer actually has to be patient and talk nonsense with you, so staying there will not be good.

After Xiao Ran left, Mr. Zhou looked at the tablets of his ancestors, his heart filled with emotion.

"How could Xiao Laosi, a blockhead, have such great merit? It's really strange that he has such a grandson."

"father."

At this time, Zhou Shen walked in. Hearing the old man's sigh, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "You can't say that. It makes me feel like Fourth Uncle Xiao has done something that is against the will of heaven and earth."

"You know..."

Mr. Zhou turned around and glared at Zhou Shen. He instinctively wanted to curse him, but when he saw his son's puzzled look, he controlled his temper.

He said, "You don't understand. Xiao Laosi has done as much good as I have. If this old guy had gone to hell, he would have been thrown into the eighteen hells long ago..."

After that, Mr. Zhou Er asked, "Are the snacks ready?"

"It's ready. It's all zero sugar. But just in case, Dad, it's better for you to take an insulin shot."

"Ah."

Mr. Zhou nodded, turned and walked into his room. The snacks had already been placed on the table.

Mr. Zhou picked up the insulin and gave himself an injection in the stomach. Then he sat in front of the mirror and put on the wig silently.

After a while, the old lady's feminine voice came from the room: "Well, you really gave the seal to someone else?"

"Oh, before our father died, he asked me to watch over you, fearing that you would collapse one day. You committed the sins and owed the debts, and you let a child pay for them. Do you have a clear conscience?"

"You old bastard, you are trying to fool me with these crappy snacks. What do they taste like? Neither sweet nor salty. Zhou Shen, Zhou Shen, you bastard, take these things away. I'm not dead yet. Don't fool me with these things..."

Listening to his mother's scolding in the room, Zhou Shen sighed helplessly: "What a sin."

……

【Tongyouyin·Corpse Collector】

Yin De value: negative thirty-seven thousand six hundred.

Privilege 1: Dark Seal
By stamping the corpse with a ghost seal, one can summon a ghost spirit from the netherworld for blessing by offering enough ghost notes and ghost money.

The more money you burn, the stronger the blessing you receive.

(Note: If you are favored by a certain Yin God, there is a chance that the other party will reach a long-term cooperation with you, and the blessing you receive will be even more powerful.)
Privilege 2: Soul Disc

After you sew up a corpse, if the soul has not yet dispersed, you can use this privilege to extradite it.

Any soul that you extradite into the underworld will increase your Yin De. The more powerful the soul you extradite, the more Yin De you will gain.

Privilege 3: Protection from Yin De

When you suffer special damage that cannot be described in words, you can use Yin De to protect your body to expel the damage you have suffered.

(Note: You are currently at a loss of Yin De, so you cannot use this ability for the time being.)
After returning home, Xiao Ran held the big seal in his hand, feeling very happy. As for the debt, he was already mentally prepared for it.

This is the inherited treasure of paper-folding craftsmen. With this thing, you can be a real paper-folding craftsman.

Then he tried using [Horizontal Refining] and [Scholar] again.

The results obtained by the two are completely different.

The ability of [Horizontal Training] is to seal yourself and increase your combat effectiveness by burning Yin money and Hell money.

At the same time, after the mark is stamped, one can temporarily gain the ability of a ghost walker, and can enter the underworld by walking on the ghost.

This is simply like sending a pillow when you are sleepy.

Isn't this a coincidence?

In the future, you can save the tolls for purchasing goods.

Xiao Ran felt so happy.

The ability of [Scholar] is more like that of a paper-maker, and he can consume Yin De to print Yin Banknotes.

In fact, after printing, you just need to stamp it, but the numbers above must be supported by corresponding good deeds, otherwise it will not work.

The second privilege is that if any ghosts accept his Yin money, they must temporarily obey his orders.

"Great, great, great, this is really..."

Xiao Ran's mouth was about to split to the back of his head.

He tossed and turned in bed, feeling extremely happy. To him, this big seal was second only to the [Evil-Suppressing Order].

After being happy, Xiao Ran took out the book [Soul Crossing Sutra], which was well preserved.

Except for the yellowed pages, there was not a single missing corner. It was incomparable to the [Record of Corpse Dissection] given to him by his ancestor.

From this point, it is not difficult to see the strength of the Zhou family as a family inheritance.

The inheritance from generation to generation in the family can ensure to the greatest extent that the problem of the apprentice starving the master will not occur.

It also avoids the situation where the master hides the secret and even wants to take the last trick into the coffin even if he dies.

So when Xiao Ran opened the "Soul Crossing Sutra", it also contained the eight magic techniques, complete and intact. Not only was there nothing missing, but there were also supplementary copies sewn in at the back, which contained the insights of the Zhou family's ancestors on magic techniques, as well as some evolved versions of these magic techniques that they had figured out themselves.

So although the core is the Eight Gates of Magic, there are actually more than just eight types.

In comparison with this, think about my own [Record of Corpse Removal] which is also an eight-door technique, but it only stops at the corpse pool.

Sea of sin, nameless.

My master also made notes on the last two techniques.

One is "I don't know how to do it either", and the other is "My master didn't teach me"

Even the name of this eighth technique is probably unknown, so people just write it as "No Name" to fool future generations.

It's really... there's no comparison.

However, Xiao Ran could also understand why the corpse-sewer did not choose the path of family inheritance.

The main reason is that it’s too bitter.

My grandfather was forced to teach me the skills of sewing corpses because he saw that the funeral industry had a good future.

If this happened in the past, hehe, it would be just like what life was like for a corpse sewer in Jinyang, Hexi.

They lived in a straw hut and had to stay with corpses every day.

Some bodies are even particularly dangerous.

Not to mention that this line of work is not easy, you may not even be able to find a wife. Even if you find a wife and you have a son, would you be willing to let your son do this line of work? ?

Therefore, we cannot blame our own masters for not living up to their expectations. From their perspective and time, being able to pass down their lineage was an incredible merit.

However, family inheritance may not be without its drawbacks.

Once the descendants of the family become unmotivated and the family fortunes decline, or even if the descendants lack talent, then this magic will probably be lost.

This situation is not uncommon.

So there is no need to dwell on such matters.

Taoist Meihua divided his abilities into four categories.

Soul, corpse, killing, and crossing.

The coroner's record of clearing injustices, the corpse-suturing clerk's record of dissecting corpses, the executioner's soul-breaking knife, and the paper-making artist's paper-making technique.

"I have basically everything now, except for the Coroner's Record of Clearing Wrongs. But it doesn't affect me much. I was born with the ability to see ghosts and spirits, and with the other three abilities, I can make up for this deficiency."

Thinking of this, Xiao Ran held the [Soul Crossing Sutra] in his hand and began to study it.

The eight magic techniques are: controlling ghosts, paper flower heart lanterns, five ghosts moving, the wrong path to the underworld, using underworld money to overcome adversity, using underworld treasure to communicate with the gods, the King of Hell knocking on the door, and the appearance of the gods.

Let’s not talk about those techniques that were simplified and modified by the Zhou family, or that became their own style.

These eight techniques are the core skills of paper-folding craftsmen.

Xiao Ran studied it carefully for a moment and had an idea in his mind.

As the saying goes, once you master it, everything will go smoothly. Xiao Ran himself knew the techniques in the [Record of Corpse Dissection] and already had experience in how to use and activate the other techniques.

In addition, both the [Record of the Exorcism of Corpses] and the [Scripture of the Crossing of Souls] originated from the Taoist Master Meihua, so it is not difficult to learn them at all.

If there is any difference, it is that the techniques in [Record of Corpse Dissection] rely more on one's own corpse qi.

The [Soul Crossing Sutra] is a clever force that mostly relies on Yin Banknotes.

The more Yin banknotes you have, the better the effect will be.

After comparing the two, Xiao Ran couldn't help but complain in his heart that Meihua Taoist was too even-handed.

Obviously, among the four Yin professions, the paper-making profession is the best in terms of practice, magic, and even the results leading to one's own situation.

But this is something that cannot be avoided. Paper-folding is a profession created by Meihua Taoist himself.

Just like his own children, the remaining three schools have existed since ancient times. The Plum Blossom Taoist only improved on the basis of his predecessors and carried it forward, but in essence he was still raised by a stepmother, so the treatment was naturally different.

After studying for a whole night, Xiao Ran had basically memorized the above eight techniques.

After a little thought, Xiao Ran took out his little notebook and began to plan.

Next, I have to return to Guling Street as soon as possible.

On the one hand, it is after dealing with the [Mask of Hercules] and getting this money.

Then buy the corresponding spell pattern and upgrade the [Scholar] to D-level [Lucky Man]

In this way, you will be a 3D-level beginner, and your strength will be further improved.

On the other hand, I also have to go back and pack up the rewards for this return and put them in order.

All these rewards are in the mailbox on Guling Street, and you need to go back and receive them yourself.

After making these plans, Xiao Ran happily washed her face and prepared to go out for shopping.

Before entering the maze, you need to prepare everything you need.

Especially the paper needed by paper-folding craftsmen.

This thing is not rare nowadays, but it is not so easy to get in the maze city.

Before I came back, I had already cleared out most of the space. After this return, I got another 10 square meters of space bonus, which was enough for me to buy a lot of paper tapes to use when I return...
