I am doing meritorious deeds in Liaozhai

Song Yushan told Lu Junlan about the dream she had that day.

"...Now I have let go of one thing on my mind, which is the matter of this bookstore..."

Lu Junlan nodded helplessly: "Since my sister believes in me, I'll give it a try. If I can do well, I won't let me go!"

"That's great!" Song Yushan was very happy.

She can trust Sister Lu's character and talent. Although she has never been in charge, as long as she is given some time, she will be able to do it.

The most important thing is that with a job, you won't think about those romantic things all day long, which can reduce many risks.

Song Yushan then told Lu Junlan about her vision for the bookstore.

The rules of the Yin world are very different from those of the Yang world, and it is impossible to copy the management methods of Yang Shi Bookstore.

But with Lu Junlan, a ghost who has some understanding of the underworld, Song Yushan is not afraid that his bookstore is just a castle in the sky, unable to integrate into the ghosts of the underworld.

But there are also some difficulties.

The purpose of her bookstore is to subtly change the thoughts of ghosts and enrich their lives through text messages.

So this bookstore is not for profit, and the money Yinshi earns is useless to her, but if it is free, it will inevitably cause many problems.

But if it is sold at a fixed price, the pricing alone will be even more difficult.

The main reason is that the currency system in the underworld is too irregular.

Joss candles can satisfy the appetite of ghosts, and paper products correspond to the clothing, housing and transportation of ghosts in the underworld, but only paper money, whether it is gold ingots, silver ingots, or bank notes and paper money, is a beautiful thing when burned. , the purchasing power is very unstable.

In the underworld, there is a mountain of gold and silver. Sometimes you can change it for some incense candles, or change it for a paper dress, but most of the time, you can't change it for anything, you can only make it a decoration.

The sacrifices from the yang world are always for specific ghosts. Originally, except for personal use, there are very few that can be sold to others.

Moreover, even if the descendants are filial, they can enjoy at most tens of hundreds of years, and their lifespan is long. If the sacrifices accumulated by ghosts in the first half of their lives are not used sparingly, they will have to suffer in the second half of their lives.

Therefore, there are very few money transactions between ghosts, and most of them are bartered. For example, some ghosts are tired of the smell of their own incense candles, and they will exchange them with other ghosts for tasting.

This ingot paper money, to the ghosts of the underworld, is not as valuable as a joss stick or a piece of paper clothing except for its ornamental value.

The paper money that looks similar in the Yang world is very different in the Yin world, some are shoddy, some are lifelike, the value is different, and there is no unified standard of measurement.

I don't know if it's like this in Yinshi, or because Fushui County is remote and backward, there are no monks, the quality of paper money is too low, and there are only one family of every type of funeral business, so Yinshi is also affected.

But in any case, the idea of ​​using Mingbi to trade is not feasible.

Song Yushan looked at the sky and said, "It's almost dawn, let me think about this matter again, and ask my sister to look for the well-informed ghost, and take the trouble to read the contents of the Ghost Story column."

Lu Junlan nodded, she already had some ideas in her mind. In recent days, she often inquired about the news in the underworld, and she already had some understanding of the ghosts in the surrounding areas of Fushui County.

One ghost and one person parted in front of the tomb, Song Yushan went down the mountain and returned to the county town.

She didn't sleep all night last night, and she didn't practice, so she was very tired. After breakfast, she went back to sleep.

When I woke up, it was already afternoon.

Song Yushan got up and came to the courtyard, took off the green bamboo hairpin in his hair, turned his palm over, and the bamboo hairpin turned into a jade bamboo stick in an instant, he raised his breath and danced with the stick, and the shadow of the stick was as fast as the wind.

After finishing the momentum, the stick changed into a hairpin, and a bun was inserted, the thin sweat on the tip of the nose glistening in the sun.

The fallen leaves and branches scattered in the courtyard were all broken into fingernail size, and they gathered in a pile under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree.

The three monsters on the side are very supportive.

The big white goose flapped its wings again and again: "Gah!"

The little orange cat arched its paws and bowed: "Meow!"

As members of the Song family, they have a sense of security!
Jin Da applauded and applauded, very proud, his young lady is really extraordinary, every time watching her practice stick, it is a kind of enjoyment:
"Miss, are you hungry? I left you lunch, and I'll bring it right away!"

Song Yushan wiped off her sweat, only to feel refreshed, and she also had a way of thinking about the problem that troubled her yesterday.

But there is no rush, let's eat first.

Uncle Jin loves food, and every time he cooks, he puts all his heart into cooking. When eating what he cooks, he needs to savor his food carefully to live up to his hard work.

It definitely wasn't because of the aroma that came out of the food plate brought by Uncle Jin that made her articulate.

After lunch, Song Yushan talked with Uncle Jin about how to eat food for a while, and then Song Yushan gave a lesson to the three monsters at home. After the lesson, she went back to the house to get the book on the technique of paper binding to read.

"Yinshi Zabao" definitely cannot be completely free, if you get it too easily, you won't cherish it.

There is no standardized currency system in the Yin Dynasty, so she creates a token by herself.

The tokens that pass in the underworld are naturally more affordable.

She plans to learn the paper piercing technique, and then combine this technique to make a kind of silver coin, which will be used for the future transactions of Yinshi Bookstore.

There is a huge difference between the paper bundles made by ordinary papermakers and the paper bundles made by monks using the paper-making technique.

The entry-level paper-making technique can endow the paper with a trace of sincerity, and in the underworld, the paper-making technique is more lifelike and of better quality.

The paper-made products made by Xiaocheng-level paper-making techniques also have many special functions that are beneficial to ghosts in the underworld.

After the Dacheng level, the paper tie can be endowed with spirituality, and the paper tie made can be lifelike in the yang world, just like a living being.

From the effect point of view, the paper piercing technique is undoubtedly a technique with a high upper limit and infinite uses, but in fact, few monks choose to practice this technique.

The main reason is that before Dacheng, the specialness of paper piercing technique was only shown in the underworld, and it was beneficial to ghosts, which is not surprising in the yang world.

But only after the completion of the sky eye technique can one see the entrance of the underworld, cross the boundary between yin and yang, and enter the underworld for a short time.

That is to say, before the completion of the paper piercing technique, it was of little help to the monks who had not perfected the sky eye technique. They could only make some paper piercings and sell them to ordinary people who knew how to make some money.

But there are so many ways for monks to make money, why do they use paper sticks?

Compared with the sky eye technique, the paper stick technique is much more difficult to practice, and it is a technique with a relatively high difficulty to practice.

One of the more complicated hand formulas and seals is that the paper-making skills are also very important. The difficulty of the latter is no less than that of practicing a martial art, and it is even more difficult to practice it to a great height.

People's time and energy are limited. Most of the spells that a monk can practice to great success or even perfection are the major spells. Who would major in a spell that is not helpful to him in the early stage and has little offensive power in the later stage? law?
Generally, only monks who have no hope of concentrating their qi at the advanced level and are planning to live in seclusion to do funeral business will learn the paper-making technique that does not need to mobilize their true qi, except for hand formulas and seals.

Or monks who are particularly interested in the underworld and ghosts will practice it, at most beginners or even minor successes.
