Kong Xuyang was overjoyed in his heart, but his face was surprised and he said: "What are you doing with this book?"
"To ask for money." Bai Liu said lightly.
Bai Liu unfolded the book, and several slips of paper, large and small, slipped inside. He stooped to pick it up and patted it, and lined up on the paper in a leisurely manner.
These notes are IOUs, and the amount owed on them ranges from several thousand to hundreds of thousands. The repayment date on each IOU is marked with a red circle and two exclamation marks. , so we can see the fear of the parties and the eagerness to repay the loan.
Bai Liu stroked her chin as if realizing something: "I seem to owe others a lot of money."
Kong Xuyang looked at it, couldn't help but smiled contemptuously in his heart, and said to himself a stinky poor man.
The character design that Bai Liu took really fits his identity. In the game, he is not only a professional gamer, but also a short-lived ghost who is short of money.
Bai Liu plays a gangster who has dropped out of junior high school and has been in the gang all the time. He commits crimes and got into trouble two or three times. Because of his generous spending, he has met many high-ranking people, but also owed a lot of debts because of his generous spending. .
At this time, the man owed a lot of money, and the loan lender began to bite him. He said that if he couldn't pay the money, he would break his legs and make him crawl on the ground for the rest of his life.
This person was frightened, and went to the doctor in a hurry. He found an evil Taoist he knew, and said that there was any way for me to make a fortune.
This Taoist said that if you are really short of money, you can find a very shady place to borrow money from the yin, the more shady the yin, the more windfall you will get.
Hearing this, the fool just happened to meet the archaeological team and told him to go back to his hometown. He thought about it and was ecstatic—there is no one in this world who dug up an ancient tomb, which is more dirty and gloomy Is the old man still overcast?
If he borrowed money in this kind of place, wouldn't it be a waste!
But he was afraid that something would happen to him after he borrowed the ill-gotten money, so this person still kept an eye out, and asked the Taoist carefully, "Will something happen to me if I borrow money from the underworld like this?"
The evil Taoist heard that he wanted to go back to his hometown to borrow money, so he told him that borrowing money from his ancestors is only immoral, but if there is a serious problem, you will have a little bad luck, but there will be no bloody disasters. After all, you are the descendant of this village people.
But this Taoist may not have imagined that this person's village is actually Yinshan Village, a small village with weird funeral customs.
Generally speaking, the younger generation will not cause any big trouble if they borrow money from their ancestors. Even if the ancestors are angry with you, they will wait for you to die and go to the underworld to settle accounts with you. They will teach you, an unfilial descendant, that they will not be easy when you are alive. Hands-on, after all, you can be regarded as their blood relatives, and they still expect you to burn incense and sacrifice.
But what if your grandparents didn't go to the underworld at all, and were trapped in this small village day and night, wandering resentfully?
At this time, if you borrow money from it, it is hard to say what will happen.
Kong Xuyang withdrew his ill-intentioned scrutiny on Bai Liu, changed his worried face, and said hesitantly: "Witchcraft seeks money, hurts nature and justice, and will suffer retribution...isn't that good?"
Bai Liu's eyes still fell on the writing, looking at Kong Xuyang, and calmly reflected: "Isn't money that can be obtained quickly in this world really harmful?"
Kong Xuyang was startled, and subconsciously retorted: "How could that be?"
Bai Liu was finally willing to glance at him lightly from the corner of his eye: "If there is a kind of magic that allows you to start a company and squeeze employees to your heart's content without them resisting, if you can predict the direction of stock trading in advance and cut stocks on a large scale, let go As long as there is only one advertisement for usury, it can confuse others and make them unable to resist pouring out their wealth to borrow you usury with extremely high interest rates."
"Even playing games and competitions, you can use magic to kill competitive opponents first, without leaving any traces, and then win to get a bonus."
"You can accumulate a lot of money with this, but according to what you said, isn't this just the use of sorcery to gain unjust wealth?"
"Is that the person who did this should be punished?"
Kong Xuyang was startled by Bai Liu's understatement.
Kong Xuyang didn't do all these things, and he didn't do them with the props exchanged for the game points, without leaving any traces, how would Bai Liu know? !
Didn't he forget it?
Kong Xuyang looked at Yang Zhi suspiciously, and Yang Zhi patted his belly in a wronged and confused manner, indicating that he really had the memory of erasing Bai Liu, Kong Xuyang reluctantly sat down again: "What were you talking about just now, Bai Liu..."
Bai Liu withdrew his gaze lightly: "I'm just imagining what I might do if I could get magic. These ways can make money quickly."
"I really want this kind of ill-gotten wealth."
Kong Xuyang pretended to be amused, and patted Bai Liu on the shoulder: "You're joking about Bai Liu again, you just said that you will be punished for doing these things."
Bai Liu glanced sideways at Kong Xuyang: "No, I don't think there will be retribution for doing so."
"All the money that hurts nature can only be divided into legal and illegal. Illegal ones will indeed be punished, but legal ones will not."
Kong Xuyang tried his best to put on a smiling face: "Is there any legitimate profit?"
Bai Liu raised the book in his hand, his eyes were sincere: "I was thinking just now, the law will protect the rights and interests of the living, so it is illegal to exploit the money of the living by various means, but it is like exploiting the money of the dead. It has been included in the scope of legal considerations and is legal."
"So borrowing money from the shadows is a legal act."
Kong Xuyang: "..."
He felt like something was wrong, but couldn't tell.
Bai Liu opened the "Maoshan Sorcery Manuscript", and there were a few pages inside that were crumpled, and it seemed that he was reading it from time to time, and there was a page where he made detailed notes.
At the top of this page are written three large characters of making money.
Standing behind Bai Liu, Mu Sicheng quickly accepted his identity as a supernatural anchor, and now he has dedicatedly picked up the camera and started taking pictures everywhere. He saw that Bai Liu was looking down at the book, holding the camera curiously. Take a closer look, read while reading:
"...Fat Yin Cai, wow, this is still a traditional Chinese character, it's so hard to recognize, let me see what it says..."
"Find a new tomb for burial, with a tombstone, name and gender, burial no longer than a hundred days, prepare meals...choose three animal wines (cattle, sheep and pigs), five Gui days, five Yin hours (five o'clock in the afternoon and seven o'clock in the afternoon) point), take a piece of longevity gold... and wait to go to practice."
"Light four sticks of incense first, put one stick in the back garden, and the three sticks of sticks in your right hand face to the west to draw in the air, please pray to the god of yin and yang wandering day and night, and then chant the mantra—"
Mu Sicheng gradually became fascinated, and his tone became trance:
"The order of the thunder is as urgent as a spark, heard in the ten directions and the three realms instantly, the year is on the moon, and the day is on the hour, receiving meritorious service, yin and yang wandering day and night, psychic five directions—"
The incense in the temple was on and off, and the wind whizzed through the hall, giving off a strange echo similar to a woman's laughter.
The statue of Sanqing behind Mu Sicheng turned from a dignified expression to glaring glaringly. He held up his fly whisk and grinned, as if he wanted to insult Mu Sicheng, a Taoist disciple who used sorcery in front of him, and beat him hard. .
There was a crisp bell ringing and the sound of the wind.
The crossed red thread on the coffin swayed, causing the bells at the four corners to sway too. The three incense candles lit by He Daniu in front of the statue swayed twice in the dark wind and went out.
The lights in the temple were dimmed, and only a light yellow light from the hanging electric lamp above the head was shining on the statue. Whether it was a statue or a human being, under such blurred light, his face became ugly.
The black-and-white photos in the temporary alcove facing the seven coffins show that the seven benign old people have become inexplicably more sinister. In the photos, they stare straight at the four people in the lobby, their faces Uehara's originally friendly smile turned weird.
When Mu Sicheng met the eyes of the old man in the black-and-white photo that was facing him, he was shocked and suddenly woke up.
He subconsciously looked at Bai Liu, and Bai Liu shook his head flatly at him: "It's nothing, sooner or later, I'm going to recite this mantra, it's better to see the effect beforehand."
Mu Sicheng breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably.
Bai Liu's eyes swept away from the mourning hall, which had become quite dim, and suddenly, his eyes stopped, and stopped on a certain two coffins.
Kong Xuyang and Yang Zhi had already stood far away, and their faces were tense.
Even if you play this game once, it is full of small traps and pits. Just now that Mu Sicheng suddenly chanted a mantra, if he hadn't dodged quickly, he almost fell asleep!
In the black-and-white photos placed in the alcove facing the two coffins, the old man in the black-and-white photo has a kind face and a friendly smile. At first glance, he looks like a good person. In the chaos just now, the photo of the deceased unexpectedly turned into a group photo of two people.
In these two black-and-white posthumous photos, one of the two old men strangled Mu Sicheng's shoulder while holding the camera, and the other strangled the calm-looking Bai Liu's shoulder. Corpse spots and duckweed appeared on his face, his nails became black and sharp, and he looked at the front of the photo happily and strangely.
Bai Liu's gaze paused for a moment on the old man's hand pinching her shoulder, then she retracted her gaze from the photo and looked at the yellow talismans on the two coffins.
The cinnabar on the yellow talisman was dim, and there were obvious damages on the corners. It would not last long at first glance.
Bai Liu turned around and looked at Mu Sicheng: "Take off your shirt."
Mu Sicheng was taken aback, but subconsciously took off.
Bai Liu's eyes stopped on Mu Sicheng's shoulder - there was a black and red finger print that had just been pinched out.
Mu Sicheng saw the fingerprint and leaned against it in fright.
Bai Liu touched his shoulder, he felt some pain in this place now, he unbuttoned the two buttons of his shirt, turned his head to look, and sure enough he found a sunken finger on his shoulder print.
Because it was too dark and cold, there was not even any pain.
Bai Liu looked at Mu Sicheng: "You have been taking pictures just now, right? Show me."
Mu Sicheng handed over the camera.
Bai Liu focused on the palm-sized screen of the camera, pressed the back button on the camera, and quickly searched for something in the constantly rewinding screen.
Mu Sicheng went closer, a little afraid to look at the camera screen, only dared to touch Bai Liu: "What are you looking for?"
Bai Liu's finger pressing the back button finally stopped, and he pressed the play button: "Find something to verify my guess."
The images in the camera began to play normally, and Bai Liu watched intently.
Mu Sicheng swallowed, and also looked away.
In the shaking camera screen, the light flickered on and off, and Mu Sicheng could hear the trance sound after he chanted the spell, followed by the piercing sound of the wind blowing, and the moment when the incense in front of the statue was extinguished , the whole screen went dark and brightened again.
In this darkness, something seemed to appear beside Bai Liu and Mu Sicheng, and then disappeared quickly.
Bai Liu played this place backwards and slowed down again, and this time Mu Sicheng finally saw what was happening, and his blood went cold for a moment.
Two completely bloated and distorted faces covered with maggots were reflected on the screen, and the faces were covered with green duckweed. These two black-and-blue fingernails pinched on Bai Liu's shoulders. .
Then the two old men stared miserably at the flickering camera, leaned on the shoulders of Bai Liu and Mu Sicheng and smiled strangely, the swollen skin and flesh cracked with his laughing movements, revealing the inside White shredded meat.
In the next second, the dim yellow light of the electric light came on, and the two faces pasted behind his ears disappeared.
Bai Liu handed the camera to Mu Sicheng, who was already so frightened that he lost his mind, turned around and walked towards the coffin. He stared at the yellow talisman on it for a second or two, and stretched out his hand, as if to lift the yellow talisman.
Kong Xuyang sternly stopped: "What are you going to do! This talisman is the [Ansha Curse] for suppressing corpses! You can't suppress the corpses in the coffin if you tear them up! Something will happen!"
Bai Liu didn't care what Kong Xuyang was talking about, and lifted the yellow talisman without hesitation.
The yellow talisman was flipped over, and there was actually a talisman drawn behind it!
Bai Liu opened his "Maoshan Sorcery Manuscript", rummaged through it a few times, and soon found the talisman corresponding to the following talisman.
"[Shadow Corpse Talisman]." Bai Liu said lightly, "That's right. On the surface, this one is indeed [An Sha Curse], but it has been passively tampered with. Behind it is a picture of these drowned corpses. The evil talisman [Yin Corpse Talisman] of the Yin Corpse increases evil spirits, and the [Yin Corpse Talisman] on the back faces the coffin, so it is the most powerful spell."
"Pasting this spell won't have any suppressive effect at all. It can only make these corpses turn into ghost corpses faster and come out to cause harm to the world."
Mu Sicheng was startled and said: "How do you know that this talisman has a title?!"
Bai Liu glanced at him: "Because the things inside can come out and take a photo with me, this talisman has a suppressive effect."
After Bai Liu finished speaking, she walked forward, raised her hand and tore off all the talismans on the seven coffins.
Suddenly there was a strong wind, the hanging bell rang sharply, and the lids of the seven coffins kept shaking, as if they were about to push back against the red line at any time.
A hand with black nails stretched out from the edge of the coffin in front of Bai Liu, and slowly opened the coffin's mouth.
