I'm taking the imperial examinations in Liaozhai

A gust of wind blew by, and the dead lotuses in the lake collided with each other, playing a broken movement.You hit me once, I touched you once, and then fell apart, some were bent over, some were knocked off their heads, and the tiny fragments fell and floated on the water, and they looked even more shivering up.

The autumn water is clear and translucent, like a high-quality gemstone that has been polished. It not only has its edges and corners smoothed, it looks smooth and round, but also has a very high appearance value, which makes people can't help but be attracted.The leaves fall in the water, floating but not falling, and the fragments of dead leaves are supported on the water surface, and a little round pit is sunken, which is more delicate.

The scholar at the desk in the waterside pavilion was dressed in a gray-blue cloth, about 20 years old, his back was a bit thin, but he did look very young.

"Sir." Ding Zaichang walked over with Ji Zihe and bowed to Ye Shengxing.

"Well, but academically, what doubts did you encounter?" Ye Sheng didn't turn around, and his pen was sloppy.

"It's not an academic matter, sir. The student invited a friend to visit his home. He admires you very much, and asked me to bring him to visit you."

Mr. Ye paused, "Admiration for me? I'm just a useless scholar, so what's there to admire."

Ji Zihe stepped forward and bowed respectfully, "Xiaosheng Ji Zihe, I have met Mr. Don't be humble, sir. I once heard brother Ding talk about your articles and poems, and I was shocked. Mr.'s talent is far beyond our ability. And also."

"Huh, what's the use of writing a good article? In the end, it's not a waste of time. It's a waste of so many people's expectations." Mr. Ye stopped painting, put the pen on the pen holder, and turned around.

Mr. Ye's face was very pale, revealing a trace of sickness, probably not in good health.He has a handsome face, although he looks young, but those eyes reveal vicissitudes that do not match his appearance.There was a sense of decadence all over his body, which was in line with the appearance of a scholar who failed in the imperial examination.

"Sir, you..." Ding Zaichang just started to speak, but was interrupted.

"You don't need to say too much, I know what you want to say. I have listened to a lot of comforting words, and I understand your intentions. This is what I deserve. Although I have no chance for the imperial examination, if I teach you to be a man, it will not be in vain. Your kindness to me."

"Mr. Gao Yi." Ji Zihe said.

"It's just a false name. I also have selfish intentions. I was able to educate Zaichang to become a man, and I took advantage of the blessings of the Ding family to express my anger for my articles, so that people would know that I was half my life. It was not because of my poor literary talent. That's enough. Besides, I have no regrets to meet Ding Gong, a confidant, so why do I have to take off my scholar's clothes and put on an official uniform to say that I have made my fortune?" Mr. Ye laughed.

"Who are you lying to? Anyone with a discerning eye can see that he wants to be an official. He wants to be an official. He is so righteous. It is nothing more than because he is afraid of the exam. He is scared out of his nerves. He wants to take the exam but dare not take it. Coward !" Bones floated to Mr. Ye's side, pointed at him and said to Ji Zihe.

Ji Zihe just pretended he didn't see it. If he said that scholars don't want to be an official or stand out, it must be a lie.But Ji Zihe believes that Mr. Ye's gratitude to Ding Gong is true, and his careful teaching to Ding Zaichang is also true, so what else can he criticize?

After visiting Mr. Ye, Ding Zaichang led Ji Zihe to the flower hall, and ordered someone to serve the best silver leaf Baifeng tea for Ji Zihe to taste.

"Brother Gong Jin, I met Mr. Ye just now, did you see anything?" Ding Zaichang asked when all the servants in the flower hall retreated and no one else was around.

Ji Zihe lowered his eyes, looked at the tea in the cup, and heard the voice of bones beside him, "The reason why Mr. Ye has not changed for several years is very simple. In fact, he is dead, and now he is just a ghost. But look It seems that he doesn't know that he is a ghost, and he still regards himself as a living person, and his behavior is no different from that in his lifetime, so others regard him as a living person. There have been such cases before, as long as he knows that he has It's fine to die. But you can't tell him directly. Usually, this happens to people who have great regrets in their hearts. You can only let him fulfill his wish and believe that he is dead. Otherwise If it is not, it is easy to turn him into a ghost, and then it will be difficult to handle."

"Why, what's the problem?" Ding Zaichang asked.

Ji Zihe shook his head, "Brother Ding, let me tell you a story."

"please say."

"There once was a hunter whose wife was pregnant. He wanted to go to the mountains to hunt some wild game and sell it to subsidize his family. As a result, he went to the mountains and didn't return home for several days. The villagers went to the front room to search for several days. Found the figure. Just when everyone was about to give up, he came back alone dragging a deer. After asking, he didn't know that he had been missing for several days. He just fell off the hillside and climbed up. I met a deer, beat it and came back in a hurry. Everyone was surprised, saying that he might not have entered a fairyland, or other things. Although there were many sayings, the villagers were very happy to see him come back safely. When he disappeared, he prayed to the Buddha every day. Now that he returns safely, he will take him to the temple to fulfill his vows. But she is not in good health, so Orion said that she will accompany him to the temple to fulfill her vows after she has given birth and confinement. , His wife thought about it and agreed. In the following days, Orion often went up the mountain, and each time he gained a lot. In just a few days, he accumulated a lot of money. When his wife gave birth to the child, the child After the full moon, the family of three went to the temple to fulfill their vows. The master in the temple saw Orion and yelled: "Nie Zhan, wake up quickly, don't stay in the world." The master's voice was like thunder, like a bolt from the blue, and immediately woke Orion up. , suddenly remembered that he fell off the cliff earlier and had been dead for a long time. It turns out that he is no longer a human, but a ghost."

"You mean, Mr. Ye, he is in the same situation as that Orion?" Ding Zaichang turned pale, he didn't expect this to be the case.

No, no, how can ordinary people be cold all the year round, how can ordinary people not change their appearance for several years, it's not that he didn't notice the abnormality, it's just that he didn't dare to think in this direction, or he didn't want to think about it.

Ji Zihe nodded, "Mr. Ye, it is indeed a ghost at this moment."

"Then what should we do? Should we also tell him the fact that he is dead?"

Ji Zihe shook his head, "No, the story is not finished yet, Brother Ding, do you want to continue listening?"

Ding Zaichang calmed down, "Brother Gongjin, please."

Ji Zihe continued, "The reason why Orion didn't reincarnate was because he couldn't let go of his wife and children. Now that he was woken up by the old monk, Orion looked at his wife and children with blood and tears in his eyes. The family didn't have much money. How should his wife and children survive, the more he thought about it, the more anxious he became, and finally he fell into a demon and turned into a ghost, not only slaughtering the monks in the temple, but even his wife and children were killed. Once his wife and children died, Orion You don't need to worry about how she will live, if you lose your obsession, you will go to the underworld."

If it is said that Ding Zaichang's face was pale just now, now it has become the same as the palette, full of tangled faces.

"Can't you tell him the truth?"

Ji Zihe nodded, "Mr. Ye is like this, I am afraid that he insists on staying in the Yangshi because he has unfulfilled wishes. If his obsession is not eliminated, there may be changes."

"Yes, yes."

"Brother Ding, don't worry. As long as you don't tell him the truth, so that he can't remember the news of his death, he will always be Mr. Ye, and he won't become a ghost, and he won't hurt anyone. As long as he fulfills his wish, you can bring him When he goes back to his hometown and sees his own grave, he can go to reincarnation with peace of mind." Ji Zihe said again very caringly.

"Then, can you please subdue him?"

Ji Zihe frowned, "Brother Ding, are you sure you want to do this, he has taught you for many years."

Even though Mr. Ye is a ghost, he is still a kind and righteous ghost, and he has never done anything harmful, let alone hurt Ding Zaichang.Besides, he has also taught Ding Zaichang for many years. Could it be that the friendship between teachers and students can't even stand this test?Obviously there is a better way, but Ding Zaichang wants someone to take his master directly. Does he want to be that heartless and shameless person?

"I..." Ding Zaichang choked, his face showing struggle.

Mr. Ye is not just a Mr. to him.

Ding Zaichang is the only son in his family. His mother lost his mother when he was young, and his father never remarried.Ding Zaichang always thought that his father was unwilling to remarry because he loved his mother and himself too much.And Ding Zaichang didn't want a stepmother, so he deliberately didn't persuade his father to remarry, but he felt more guilty towards his father because of this, until he met Mr. Ye.

Mr. Ye was in the prime of his life back then, he was full of vigor, like a bright sun, and he carried a wave of confidence in every gesture.He likes Mr. Ding very much, and his father also likes Mr. Ding very much. He not only personally guides his articles, but also supports his life and studies.Dad said that Mr. Ye is his confidant, and he will never meet someone like Mr. Ye in his life.If you have a confidant, you will have no regrets in this life.

Whenever Mr. Ye was mentioned, Dad's eyes seemed to be shining, and his face revealed excitement, as if he had been possessed by an evil spirit, which made Ding Zaichang feel a little scared.

Later, Mr. Ye failed the township examination, and his father was also impeached and dismissed for some reason, and he was going back to his hometown.For some reason, my father insisted on waiting for Mr. Ye before leaving.One night, he woke up suddenly and found his father sitting on the head of his bed, which shocked him.His father asked him, what if he was called Mrs. Ye's mother?At that time, he was already the governor, looking at his father, he was very weird.Mr. Ye is a man and has a wife and children. How could he marry his father and be his stepmother? Wouldn't it be a joke to say this.

How he answered, he forgot, anyway, it's not bad, it must be rejected.Father was silent for a moment, just tucked the quilt for him, and left.

Ding Zaichang felt uneasy, and for some reason, he fell asleep, and when he woke up, it was already broad daylight.Seeing his father again, he found that there was nothing unusual about him, nothing different from usual, making Ding Zaichang think that everything that happened last night was just like a dream.

Mr. Ye still came, so his father made him Ding Zaichang's husband, and asked Ding Zaichang to formally pay respects to Mr. Ye.Ding Zaichang always remembered that night, he couldn't forget it, and he didn't dare to ask his father if he had been to his room that night, and he had said those things to him, but he unconsciously began to pay attention to his father and Mr. Ye interaction between.

Fortunately, the relationship between father and Mr. Ye did not exceed the rules. The two looked like very close friends.Ding Zaichang began to doubt, could it be that what happened that night was really just a dream?Also, how can two men be together, he is definitely dreaming.

Mr. Ye really treated Ding Zaichang very well, he was very attentive to his studies, and wished to impart all his knowledge to him.Ding Zaichang also respects Mr. Ye very much, not only regards him as a teacher, but also treats him as a father.

Only one day, Ding Zaichang's world collapsed.Ding Zaichang was the only son in the family, so he naturally had to get in touch with family affairs early on to share his father's worries.When he was very young, he had already started to get in touch with official duties at home.The matter was urgent that day, and his father was not at home, so he went to his father's study to look for the ledger, but unexpectedly found a picture album.The men in the picture album have different postures and expressions, and there are even some without clothes.And the man in the painting was his beloved wife.

Nothing can start, once it starts, it will be like a flood, and the gate can no longer be closed.The more things Ding Zaichang found, the calmer his mind became.

He thought about that night again, it turned out that it was not a dream, his father really had that thought, the fact was right in front of him, he suddenly felt a little nauseous.What father likes is a man, so what is his mother, what is he.He also said that the one he loves the most is his mother, a liar, a big liar!

Enduring the nausea, he put everything back in place coldly.He didn't confront his father, nor did he go to Mr. Ye, asking him why he seduced his father... Well, he knew it was to vent his anger, but Mr. Ye never had any other thoughts about his father. Ding Zaichang knew that his father was his benefactor.

He didn't tell anyone about it, but after all, something was different.He volunteered to go to the capital for training. His father didn't agree at first, so he knelt in front of his ancestors in the ancestral hall for three days and two nights, but his father relented and agreed to his request.

Mr. Ye is Ding Zaichang's wife, if Ding Zaichang wants to leave, he will naturally leave with him.Before leaving, my father sent him thirty miles away, reluctant to part, and refused to turn back.

Others said that Mr. Ding attached great importance to his son, otherwise he wouldn't give him away for thirty li.Ding Zaichang sat in the carriage and heard this, with a sarcastic smile on his face.He is reluctant, but is it his son who is reluctant, or his wife, Mr. Ye?

He seldom heard his father talk about his mother's past. Thinking about it carefully, his mother might not be ignorant of his father's secret.In Ding Zaichang's memory, his mother was a very gentle woman, who was on par with his father, a loving couple that the neighbors envied.But when she was sick, she was uncharacteristically cold to her father.The father endured the mother's cold eyes, still tasted the soup himself, and took good care of her.Ding Zaichang once asked his mother why, but she just told him in tears that the biggest mistake she made in her life was marrying her father.Ding Zaichang didn't understand, and his mother didn't say it clearly. Until his mother died of illness, Ding Zaichang didn't know the reason.His mother passed away for many years, and his father never remarried. When Ding Zaichang asked him why, he only said that his wife would only be his mother, and there would be no one else.Poor Ding Zaichang really believed in this hypocrisy, thinking that he really had deep affection for his mother, but it turned out to be a lie.

Ding Zaichang never questioned his father, after all his father never lied to him.Indeed, he never married anyone but his mother.Now it seems that this promise is probably because of guilt towards his mother.

After arriving in the capital, Ding Zaichang intentionally began to distance himself from Mr. Ye.He really didn't know how to treat Mr. Ye. The existence of Mr. Ye always made him feel like a joke.If his mother knew that his father was so obsessed with a man now, and that man was still her own son's beloved teacher, how sad she would be.

Ding Zaichang knew that he was venting his anger. As a child, he couldn't remain indifferent and resent Mr. Ye.But in fact, Mr. Ye is indeed not wrong, the fault is his father, the bastard who cheated on the marriage, but that bastard is his biological father, there is nothing he can do about it.

Mr. Ye was afraid that he also felt Ding Zaichang's alienation, but he still regarded Ding Zaichang as his student, and there was no change.

Ding Zaichang is getting older and more mature, and he no longer avoids to face Mr. Ye.To be honest, Mr. Ye really didn't have anything to feel sorry for him, and he wasn't made of stone, so he felt guilty unconsciously.

Later, when he saw his father again and saw the white hair growing on his head, Ding Zaichang felt sad for some reason, as if he was being grabbed by someone's hand.He suddenly realized that his father was old, like the sun that had already set in the west, and one day, he would leave him.

He suddenly became tolerant, and the previous resentment seemed to be unimportant.Although my father doesn't love my mother, but to be honest, these days are full of parents' order and matchmaker's words, and there are a few truly loving couples.Besides, apart from my mother, my father had no other people around me, neither men nor women.Even for his favorite Mr. Ye, he only thought about it in private, and he never exceeded the rules on the surface.It has not been easy for my father for so many years. He has always loved and loved me well. Even if my mother is in heaven, she will not resent my father anymore. How can I have so much dissatisfaction.

The resentment against his father for so many years suddenly dissipated, and Ding Zaichang unilaterally ended this cold war, although no one knew that this cold war ever existed.

After figuring it out, the big stone weighing on his heart was removed, and Ding Zaichang felt that the air smelled better than before, as if the whole world was different from before.

He was eager to see his master, and wanted to say sorry to him, but when he really saw his master, he got stuck.He lost his temper before, and it's been a long time since he had a good look at his master. The master is still the same as it was a few years ago, not even a bit changed, even the sickness on his face, which is just recovering from a serious illness, has not changed a bit.

If it had been before, Ding Zaichang might not have thought much about it, but he had just seen his father's white hair and felt the passage of time, and when he looked at Mr. Ye again, he felt a little scared.No one can live forever. No matter how much ordinary people take care of their skin, there will still be some subtle changes on their faces.No matter how you say it, Mr. Ye is a man in his thirties, and there is not even a fine line in the corner of his eyes, as if the years have frozen on his body, allowing him to maintain the appearance when he just left home.

If things are abnormal, there must be a monster. Ding Zaichang's feelings towards Mr. Ye began to become complicated again. He thought about many reasons, and even thought that Mr. Ye is a monster who specializes in seducing men, which is why his father likes him.He secretly invited many monks and priests to his home, but the tricks of those charlatans are really low.Anyway, he has been in the mall for so many years, and he has never seen any tricks, even he can't be fooled, and he still wants money, so it would be good if he didn't send them to the government.

For some reason, he felt that Mr. Ji was a man of real talent and learning.What he said should be credible. Mr. Ye is not a person, but a ghost.

Since ancient times, those who have a relationship with ghosts basically have no good things.Don't say that if you don't do bad things, you are not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door. Not all ghosts harm people out of conscience. There are many ghost stories that hurt innocent people.If you suddenly know that there is a ghost living next to you, even if you have made some preparations in advance, you will still be afraid when you are sure.Although Ji Zihe repeatedly emphasized that as long as he didn't die, ghosts would not harm anyone, but who knew if he would suddenly go crazy.After all, it was a ghost!

No matter what happened to Ding Zaichang, he was just an ordinary sophomore boy, it was normal to be afraid.With such an uncertain threat lurking beside him, his first reaction must be to get rid of it. This is human nature.

But Ji Zihe reminded him again that he was entangled again. That was his wife, who taught him to study and live together for many years. He thought of Mr. Ye's goodness, remembered his guilt towards him, and the balance in his heart began to tilt again. This is also human nature.

"What will happen to the subdued ghost?" Ding Zaichang asked.He originally thought that whether it is a Taoist priest or a monk, after the ghosts are subdued, they will be sent to the underworld for reincarnation.But from what Ji Zihe said, it seems that this is not the case. Could it be that there are other ways to deal with it?

Listening to the science popularization of the bones, Ji Zihe turned into his own words and said, "Then we have to divide the people. If it is an ordinary alchemist who catches ghosts, he may use the captured ghosts as servants or send them to salvation. If If monks and priests are caught, it depends on their mood. Most monks and priests accept ghosts and ghosts. If they are in a good mood, they will be superseded. If not, that ghost will have only one end, to be wiped out."

"Aren't they monks?" Ding Zaichang was a little angry, monks should be compassionate, why are they so cruel to ghosts.

At the same time, he was a little lucky, fortunately, all he met before were charlatans, if a real one came and took Mr. Ye away, then he would have to blame himself for the rest of his life.

"Self-blame also has to be divided into objects. Strictly speaking, ghosts are dead things. It is useless to talk to them about whether they are dead or not. Even if the soul is not wiped out, as long as you drink a bowl of Mengpo soup, you will be reincarnated and forget about it." The past is a new life, and what is the difference between the past and the ashes. There are rules in heaven and earth, the living live in the yang, and the dead enter the underworld, and these ghosts who stay in the yang have violated the rules. Whether it is a ghost or an ordinary Lonely ghosts, as long as they stay in the world, they are guilty, and God thinks they should be punished. Moreover, some ghosts are even more sinful. So even if they are beaten to ashes, they are still punished by God. If it is allowed, not only will the perpetrator not be punished, but it may also be rewarded with merit."

"This, this is not fair."

"Where does fairness come from? Some people are born with rich clothes and good food, and some people are born with nothing to eat. Ordinary people are like ants. In the eyes of God, as long as we perform the so-called rules well, the life and death of us people will be related to it." What does it matter." Ji Zihe almost indifferently repeated what Gu Gu said.

"It's true, God doesn't have so much time to take care of everyone." Ding Zaichang calmed down, if God is really fair, how could his mother die?

Seeing Ding Zaichang's obviously depressed mood, Ji Zihe hurriedly comforted him, "Actually, it's not as bad as imagined. Although the subdued ghosts may be wiped out, most of them are evil ghosts. The hearts of monks are still very kind. When I am happy, I catch a lot of ghosts and send them to be reincarnated, and only those ghosts who have sinned deeply or are too obsessed and cannot be saved will enjoy the treatment of being wiped out."

"But you just said that Mr. Ye thinks he is still alive because of his deep obsession. If he is subdued, he will definitely find out that he is dead. At that time, he will become a ghost, and there must be nothing he can do about it." If it is superseded, wouldn't it mean that the soul will be scattered?" Ding Zaichang asked.

It is said that it is better to live than to die, not to mention that you will become another person after drinking Mengpo soup, but at least your soul is still alive, isn't it just that you have lost your memory?

"So, you have to think carefully about what to do with him." Ji Zihe threw the question to him again.

Ding Zaichang pursed his lips, and slowly moved his clenched palms away, "Mr. treats me well, and I can't hurt him. Mr. is a truly talented person. For this provincial examination, Mr. will use his model essay for the exam All the exercises were copied down for me to recite. As a result, the seven questions I encountered during the local examination were all included in the prepared exercises, and none of them were missed. This made me get the second best result in the Jingzhou provincial examination. Unfortunately, Mr. You didn't take this provincial examination with me, otherwise, you would have passed the examination."

What is the probability of winning seven questions? Ji Zihe couldn't imagine that there are still people who can be so good.If he had participated in this provincial examination, it would be a pity that he failed to pass the examination, but it was a pity that he did not participate. It would be a pity.

"Mr. Ye is really a great talent, it's just a pity." It's a pity that such a talented person died so early.

"Mr. died after the rural examination that year. His greatest regret was that he failed my father's expectations and did not pass the provincial examination. Afterwards, he thought about it day and night, and he felt very sorry for me. Father, maybe it was because of this incident that he died of illness. If you want to get rid of his obsession, I'm afraid the only way is to let him take the provincial exam again, and pass the exam."

"Well, this method works."

"After the spring of next year, I will find a way to send my husband to the Chinese Academy, so that he can continue to study there, so that he won't always be trapped at home and work behind closed doors. Our family has donated so much money to the court over the years, even if I really have no talent. No virtue, Your Majesty will reward me as an official. Then I will no longer need a teacher to teach me my studies. Sir, there is no reason to refuse to go to Chinese studies and then take the imperial examination. After I go to Chinese studies, I will contact more candidates, sir Maybe he will regain his confidence and enter the examination room again. With Mr.'s talent, I believe that a small Juren will definitely be no problem. Then I will let him go back to his hometown, maybe he will be able to think of his dead He will be able to leave with peace of mind at that time." Ding Zaichang made a decision, and quickly made a three-year plan.If you don't do it, you don't do it, and if you do it, you have to do it perfectly.

Ji Zihe was a little relieved, in his opinion, this was already a good ending.

"It's just Brother Gong Jin, do you have any magic weapon to keep you safe?" Ding Zaichang couldn't help asking.

Cough, who made him such a life-saving person.Although he really wanted to help Mr. Ye, Mr. Ye was a ghost after all, and he was still a little scared. If Mr. Ye suddenly went crazy, he wouldn't care whether he was his disciple or not. Wouldn't it be wrong for him to die at that time.So he planned to prepare early, and he didn't want to hurt Mr. Ye, he just wanted to be able to protect himself, otherwise he couldn't feel at ease.

How could Ji Zihe have any magic weapon? Even this job of identifying ghosts was a temporary part-time job for him to drive ducks to the shelves.He is not a professional and has no magic weapon, so he can only think about how to fool him.

But Bones was unwilling to give up this great opportunity to make money, and said to Ji Zihe, "You ask him to prepare cinnabar paper and pens."

Ji Zihe didn't suspect him, so he relayed the story to Ding Zaichang.

"Brother Gong Jin wants to draw a talisman?" Ding Zaichang asked.

"Hmm." Bone affirmed.

Ji Zihe nodded hesitantly, why didn't he know that bones could draw symbols, could it be that they are going to sell fake products to deceive people this time, it's not very good.

Ding Zaichang didn't know about Ji Zihe's entanglement. In his opinion, if an expert can't draw symbols, then he is still an expert!For Xiaohezi, this must be the biggest misunderstanding of the expert.Now that Ji Zihe wanted to draw a talisman, he quickly ordered people to buy the most expensive cinnabar and the most expensive talisman paper.As for the writing brush, the master didn't ask for anything, so just use it casually.As an examinee, the most indispensable thing in his family is a brush, he can choose whatever he wants.

Holding a cinnabar pen, Ji Zihe looked at the talisman paper on the table and murmured in his heart, he wouldn't really be asked to write it, he wouldn't.He has never read a book about talismans, and he doesn't even know what a talisman looks like, so how to draw it!

"Don't worry, everything is up to me." Bones leaned close to Ji Zihe and said.

Ji Zihe had no choice but to bite the bullet and write.As soon as the cinnabar pen touched the talisman paper, Ji Zihe felt that his hand was not his own, as if someone was holding his hand and drawing with his hand.

Ji Zihe breathed a sigh of relief, but he still had to pretend.Looking at the writing brush in his hand like flowing clouds and flowing water, he still feels quite comfortable. Even if Ji Zihe is not the real writer, but just watching people draw talismans, he feels as if he has entered a mysterious realm.When he suddenly woke up, the talisman on the paper was already drawn, and there was still a golden light flowing on it. It looked very tall, and it was not an ordinary talisman at first glance.

Maybe, this is really not something to bluff.Thinking about it, Ji Zihe picked up the drawn talisman and handed it to Ding Zaichang.

Ding Zaichang took a look at the talisman, "Brother Gong Jin, what kind of talisman is this, I have never seen the runes on it before."

Ding Zaichang encountered too many scammers who wanted to empty his wallet. In order to crack down on counterfeiting, he himself painstakingly studied various classics.Although he still didn't get started because of his poor qualifications, he didn't know everything.If it is a lie, he will definitely expose it.But this talisman was drawn by his own eyes. When he was drawing the talisman, he also fell into a very strange state, and immediately believed that this talisman was extraordinary.Now that I hold it in my hand, I feel that this talisman is not as rough as the previous talisman paper, but soft and smooth, with a touch of warmth.To put it bluntly, it is like human skin emitting body temperature.

"This is called the magic talisman of vajra body protection. It can protect your life three times at the critical moment." Ji Zihe tried his best to maintain the high-level personality.What kind of vajra body protector? Ji Zihe made up the name. Bones said he learned this talisman from an old monk in the temple. He didn't know the name, so he just called it the amulet.Ji Zihe felt that the name of the amulet was too popular, not tall at all, and did not meet the buyer's expectations, so he made up a name now.

"Can it only be guaranteed three times?"

"Don't be greedy. Although Mr. Ye looks like an ordinary person now, he is still a ghost inside. If it is another talisman, it will easily hurt him, but my talisman of vajra body protection does not have such worries." Think After thinking about it, Bones borrowed Ji Zihe's hand to draw another talisman.

"This is a communication talisman. Once you are in danger, you can tear off this talisman. No matter where I am, I can sense it immediately and come quickly."

"This...if it's far away, the journey takes too long, and the three chances to save my life are used up, then I'm still dead?" Ding Zaichang said worriedly.

It's also true, no matter how fast the bone speed is, it can't be as fast as others.Not to mention three times, Ji Zihe felt that ten times was not safe. After all, he could only defend but not attack. He couldn't kill him once.

"Don't worry, I have my own arrangements." Bones said calmly.

As the great man said, practice is the only criterion for testing truth.If you don't believe me, do an experiment.Gu Gu drew another teleportation talisman to let Ji Zihe go farther, and Ding Zaichang tore up the talisman again.With a flash of inspiration, Ji Zihe and Bones instantly appeared in front of Ding Zaichang.It turns out that this talisman not only has the function of communication, but also has a small teleportation array inside.

"Brother Gong Jin really is the trick of a god!" Ding Zaichang exclaimed.

Hearing is believing, seeing is believing, no matter how much you hear, there is no convincing personal experience.Now Ding Zaichang finally felt at ease, instantly full of confidence, no longer frowning.

Bones is also very happy. Although one talisman is wasted, Ding Zaichang will reimburse it, which means he sold an extra talisman.

Ding Zaichang is worthy of being a wealthy man who has a lot of money and has done business all over the country. Ji Zihe solved his confidant's serious trouble, so he naturally wanted to repay him. When Ji Zihe left, he gave him a red envelope.Since he was at his master's house, Ji Zihe didn't have the nerve to take it apart and look at it at his master's house.But the bones are not so particular. Seeing that the red envelope is so small, he feels that there must not be a few taels of silver, and he feels dissatisfied immediately.I immediately got into the red envelope, and it turned out that all the money in it was banknotes, no wonder it looked so light.After counting the amount, the bone floated out of the red envelope and told Ji Zihe.

When Ji Zihe walked out of Ding's house, he felt as if he was stepping on cotton, feeling light under his feet.The last carriage was not in good condition, if Ding Si hadn't supported him, he would definitely have fallen down.

When Ji Zihe got into the carriage, Bones set up another cover-up, and then laughed wantonly, "Look at you, isn't it just 3000 taels of silver, you're so out of your mind."

"3000 taels, that's 3000 taels." Ji Zihe's head was a little stuck, he had never seen so much money in his life.One tael of silver is equal to one tael, and 3000 taels of silver is equal to three thousand taels, which is 300 million Wen.I didn't expect to make so much money as a magic stick, which is faster than stealing money.

"Promise." Gu Gu slapped Ji Zihe on the back of the head.

Ji Zihe rubbed his head and smirked, "Bone, how can you draw symbols!"

"When I was in the temple, the old monk in the temple knew how to draw. I was free, so I followed suit. In fact, drawing symbols is quite simple. Anyway, the principle is not bad. After understanding the principle, I changed it. There are fewer talismans, and many new talismans have been created by myself."

"That eminent monk is really powerful." Ji Zihe said in admiration.Although Gu Gu only mentioned that eminent monk occasionally, and he didn't say much every time, but after listening more, he found that Gu Gu had learned many of his skills secretly from the eminent monk.Moreover, it can be seen from those few words that the eminent monk is not only powerful in mana, but also knowledgeable
