Cultivating Ghosts for Calamity
Error reportChapter content
Arriving at the farmers' market, I happened to encounter a crowded street. I easily found a parking spot and parked my car before entering the market.
I used to rarely go to places like markets when I entered the city. I didn't know there was a large shopping mall here, and Yu Xiaoxue took me with her like Liu Laolao into the Grand View Garden.
She seems to enjoy holding my nose like this now, because she is usually the object of my bullying.
Yu Xiaoxue has no impression of clothes and other things. She took me to the second floor of the shopping mall and asked about clothes that were indeed expensive and affordable, usually around 30-40 yuan per piece.
I was afraid that if she bought it back, I would be laughed at by Han Shanshan and Zhao Qian, so I pulled her away.
On the first floor of the mall, I bought some cooked dishes and took Yu Xiaoxue to the sports brand store. I bought two sets of sportswear, one pink and one blue.
Yu Xiaoxue looked at the bill of over 500 yuan, her eyes stunned and she couldn't finish her sentence. However, she was very satisfied with the new clothes because they were practical, could run and jump, and suitable for her.
After fulfilling her wish, she took me to the antique street in the market. There were not many shops here, but on market day, some people from the village would come to sell some uncommon things.
Someone used to sell a copper drum, but it was said that they later bought it for over ten thousand yuan and auctioned it off, earning several hundred thousand yuan.
Of course, even if this kind of thing really appears, I can't afford it. I can only afford a few hundred yuan at most. Now, after calculating, Yu Xiaoxue still has a thousand yuan, which is even richer than me.
And I have to start worrying about her tuition fees for school, after all, her father is no longer here, and I am also half of his brother. In addition to solving the problem of livelihood, I also have to be responsible for her education.
Are you a high school senior? "I asked Yu Xiaoxue.
Tian Ge, I've already finished my second year of high school. Why don't I skip it? We don't have money, and Xiaoyitun can't go back. I'll work in the county, serving dishes and washing dishes. "Yu Xiaoxue was a bit embarrassed. She asked me about the job early on, but I didn't agree.
No, there are all certificates hanging on the walls of your house. Your grades are good, not studying would be a waste. "I immediately rejected her idea. Her grades must be very good, but our family is too poor to afford her anymore. Since she is with me now, even if it's hard, I have to support her education.
I don't have good grades, but I'm actually in my forties. The awards are all given by the teacher to make my hair look good at home, so why don't I just skip them? "Yu Xiaoxue shook her head.
It's impossible to expect a sensible child to finish their education in a family so poor that they only have certificates except for sweet potatoes. It's actually normal for Yu Xiaoxue to have such a mentality. I said, "What's the difference between being in her forties and being the first? Go ahead and study. Brother has money and has earned tens of thousands of yuan in the past few years, which is enough for you to go to college
I pretended to laugh and said, "After listening, Yu Xiaoxue stared at me, afraid that I would deceive her: 'Tian Ge, you lied to me... you don't have any money at all.'
I have it, why don't I call your aunt? "I said, taking out my phone and giving it to her. When I found my mother's number, I had to call her, but I knew she wouldn't dare to listen.
Are you really there? Don't you lie to Xue? "Yu Xiaoxue looked at me with grievance.
I'm not lying, why am I lying to you? If it's not enough for your aunt to support you, you can finish college later and gradually get back to it. At that time, you had to pay several thousand yuan a month. Now, washing dishes and carrying dishes in the county town is just over 800 yuan. When do you have to start? "I advised her.
Tian Ge... Actually, I lied to you. Those certificates are all real. Last semester, I was in second place in my grade. Let me tell you, I was supposed to be able to get first place, but that day Xiaobei said that as long as I didn't answer the last question and asked her to get first place, she would give me fifty. I wanted to give my dad a plate of roasted duck with two pounds of rice wine, but I didn't write that question
Yu Xiaoxue painstakingly took out a piece of 50 yuan rolled into Fried Dough Twists from the corner of his coat and gave it to me: "Finally, Xiaobei gave me the money. I thought for a long time but didn't dare to use it..."
Will you dare again next time? "I immediately looked at her with a stern expression and confiscated the fifty yuan, but couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness in my heart: Ah, Uncle Yugen, I didn't bring anything with me on this trip back to Xiaoyitun. I owe you two pounds of rice wine and a plate of roasted duck for Xue first. When I have the strength to go back in the future, I will definitely bring it to you.
I dare not. "Yu Xiaoxue's eyes were red. Although she sometimes did thoughtless things, such as digging up sweet potatoes from others, they were also immature and hungry when she was a child.
That's good, listen to your brother Tian. After reading the plan, if we can attend Tsinghua University and Peking University, we should also attend. We don't need that little money, "I gasped.
Okay! Tian Ge is the best to me! "Yu Xiaoxue was happy and saw the little couple next to her almost sticking together. She also ran over and held my hand tightly.
I shook her off a few times but didn't shake her off, so I ignored her. Anyway, there were hardly any acquaintances between us in the county town, so I didn't care about this image.
But when I was thinking this way, a familiar figure suddenly appeared at the farthest point of my sight!
One egg! "I almost shouted out! I broke free from Yu Xiaoxue's hand and chased after her like flying!
Yu Xiaoxue was stunned. When she saw me chasing after her, she also chased after me.
As a result, the crowd was too dense, and I was afraid that something might happen to Yu Xiaoxue, so I stopped and watched from afar as Zhang Yidan's figure disappeared on the edge of the market.
Egg brother? How could that be? "Yu Xiaoxue asked me in surprise, as if she hadn't seen it.
Maybe I read it wrong, impossible, impossible, "I explained to myself, then looked at Yu Xiaoxue with a bitter smile. Zhang Yidan was clearly dead and had killed his own ghost baby. Now he appeared in broad daylight, how could that be? A fierce ghost borrowing his body can still make sense in the gloomy forest, but in this sea of people? It's absolutely impossible.
The county has a population of 800000, and it's normal for them to look similar. I sighed, perhaps the memories that Yu Xiaoxue brought back reminded me of my friends here.
Brother, are you going to Antique Street? Right there, see? "Yu Xiaoxue pointed to the intersection where the person who looked like Zhang Yidan came out just now and said.
Well, I see, let's go over there, "I said, and my already calm heart began to twist again." Zhang Yidan "went to Antique Street?
I shook my head and turned into Antique Street with Yu Xiaoxue. That small street was actually an alley, even selling chickens, ducks, and geese.
I randomly found a shop with a friendly owner and asked if he had old yellow paper, high-quality cinnabar, and a pen.
This old county town will never lack such things, and the boss quickly came up with several.
I bought these things not because Zhao Qian doesn't have them, but because I can't use things that others have used, which will affect the accuracy of casting spells.
I chose the oldest and most expensive aged cinnabar, which costs a few tens of yuan per gram. I spent over 400 yuan on some of it. Old yellow paper, due to its storage age, is not cheap even for a dozen, and even the specially made brush, costs only 600 yuan.
After thinking for a moment, Caifa Ludi, this is true. It's impossible to play with these things without money. Playing with them is like risking one's life. Can things with small lives be expensive?
So the first thing is to have money, the second is to consider whether your Daoist skills are strong or not, and then to consider your Daoist friends, companions, and cultivation sites. After the test of time, you can finally become a generation of Daoist masters.
Boss, was there a young man in his twenties wearing factory clothes passing by or buying things here just now? "On a whim, I asked the boss about what Zhang Yidan was wearing.
Oh, you're talking about him. Hey, I'm curious. Why have you young people been playing with these things lately? That person just came to me and asked me, like you, if I wanted to buy cinnabar and a pen, but the pen was bought. When I took out the cinnabar, he said it wasn't suitable and went to the opposite stall to buy it. Hehe, the things on the other side were all made by the boss himself. Can they be used? "The boss didn't hide it and pointed to the stall on the other side, implying that it was not good.
I immediately ran to find the old lady at the street vendor and asked if she had done business with the young man. However, the old lady remained silent and looked in the direction where Zhang Yidan had disappeared before, pointing to the cinnabar and extending a finger.
I thought to myself that if I didn't buy her things, I probably wouldn't be able to get the words out of her mouth. So I took out fifty yuan and said, "Give me five grams
The old woman smiled and extended a finger, but her smile was very penetrating. She revealed her severely missing dental plaque, but this was normal. However, her tongue was mostly broken! He was mute, so scared that Yu Xiaoxue and I took two steps back!
The tongue must have been cut off by someone!
Young man, it's one hundred and eleven grams! "The boss across from me was scared and kindly reminded me.
I don't think I can ask anything. The cinnabar has turned into a brownish purple color, and I don't know how to use it, so I took Yu Xiaoxue and left.
I held the remaining two or three hundred and felt that there was still a missing soul urn to buy, so I prepared to go to some antique shops.
Soul urn is an urn specifically designed to hold the ashes and bones of the dead. However, nowadays, even if the urn is exquisitely carved, it is still a waste. Even if it is made of gold or white jade, it is of little use to me. I have to find some pottery urn to replace it. Unfortunately, I have searched many antique shops, and the owners told me that they are all handicrafts, such as Han Dynasty and Qing Dynasty, and cheap counterfeit items can cost hundreds of yuan.
I felt a chill in my heart, thinking that Xijun's home might not have fallen, so I carefully recalled the process of making my grandmother's soul urn. Every time my grandmother made a soul urn, she would go out and find various materials when she came back.
These materials are not very special, just ordinary soil, but they seem to have never been intended for me to play with, saying they are not good for me.
And she cooks them all by herself, but now I don't have enough firing conditions.
Grandma is definitely a master. She can find clay to make soul jars by herself, then carve seal script and burn them into soul jars. The ghosts raised in these soul jars are also very powerful. Can I do it?
As I hesitated, the words' It's Yin Tu! 'popped into my mind, making me completely give up staying on the antique street because I decided to make pottery myself.
