Liaozhai Great Sage

Chapter 106 Selling Talismans
I had bid farewell to Wang Ping and was about to go back to rest when I saw a Taoist walking over suddenly and shouted to stop.

Li Xiuyuan was stunned for a moment, and immediately looked for the sound.

But I saw that Taoist was wearing a blue Taoist robe, with disheveled hair, which seemed a bit unruly, but this is not the point. The point is that this Taoist is bald in the middle of his head, revealing his shiny head.

"I've met the Taoist priest." Wang Ping immediately saluted the Taoist priest when he saw him.

Li Xiuyuan took a look at the bald Taoist priest, because he was carrying Xiaodie on his back, it was inconvenient to salute, so he just nodded.

"You two scholars, please stay still. I don't know if I should say something or not." The bald Taoist bowed back and said.

"I don't know what the Taoist priest is doing?" Li Xiuyuan said.

When going out, the most important thing to ignore is Taoist priests. Taoist priests in this world are not liars under the banner of Taoist priests, but people with real skills. If they have no skills, they dare not call themselves Taoist priests.

The bald Taoist looked at Li Xiuyuan, Wang Ping, Du Chunhua next to him, and the two guards behind him, and then he said with a smile: "I just saw you coming back late, and the poor Taoist took a curious look, but I just want to remind you guys, maybe you don’t know your situation, you guys have ghost aura on your body, I’m afraid you might encounter something unclean on the way here tonight.”

Li Xiuyuan's expression moved, this Taoist really had some abilities, he could see the ghostly aura on himself and others at a glance.

Wang Ping was shocked immediately, and for a moment he was astonished as heaven and man; "The Taoist priest is really a man of gods, Shi Caiwan was born on the way back, because it was too late, he passed by a market, and he heard from Brother Li that it was a In the ghost market, and on the way back, I met a man dressed as an official, I suspected that the man was a ghost, and today the Taoist pointed him out, so I was convinced that I had really encountered a ghost."

Taoist Tubal smiled and said: "You guys are lucky. You noticed it in time and found out that it was a ghost market. Fortunately, you didn't go there. You have to know how many evil spirits and ghosts lingered in that ghost market. If you went, you would be If you don’t die, you’re afraid you’ll lose your skin, and as for the ghost messenger, I think it’s just passing by, so it doesn’t matter.”

"What the Taoist priest said is very true." Wang Ping saluted politely.

Li Xiuyuan also said: "Teacher, thank you for your reminder, I will pay attention to it, and I will definitely avoid walking at night in the future, so as not to encounter ghosts again."

He was quite grateful for the kind reminder from the priest.

Wang Ping nodded again and again, expressing his gratitude.

But the bald Taoist said again: "Although you guys are fine this time, it's hard to guarantee that we won't meet again in the future. You have already been infected with ghost aura. I'm afraid there will be ghosts coming to your door at night to harm you."

"Dao, Daoist, is this true? Will there really be ghosts coming to the door at night?" Wang Ping's face, which had recovered with difficulty, turned pale in an instant.

The bald Taoist nodded and said, "Based on poor Taoism, there are nine out of ten chances that it will come. The ghosts have left a breath on you, and they will come to look for you after you fall asleep at night. At that time, you will inevitably be haunted by ghosts. I was crushed by ghosts every day, and had nightmares again and again. In severe cases, I am afraid that I may die."

"No way, it's that serious."

Wang Ping grabbed the bald Taoist's hand in fright: "Please also ask the Taoist priest to save me."

The bald Taoist nodded with a smile and said: "It's easy to say, easy to say, since the poor Taoist has encountered him, he will naturally not sit idly by."

As he spoke, he took out two talismans from his sleeves, one yellow talisman and one purple talisman.

"Pindao has two dao talismans for expelling ghosts and demons. The purple one is the most effective and can guarantee a lifetime of worry-free life. The yellow one is much worse. It can only guarantee a month of worry-free. I don't know how many of you want the yellow talisman. It's still a purple talisman."

"Purple talisman can guarantee a life without worry, so it's naturally a purple talisman." Wang Ping said without hesitation.

He met a ghost and was afraid. He met a painted skin ghost in the wilderness before, met Wang Bajing when crossing the river, and encountered a ghost messenger when he came back.

For a person like him who is naturally afraid of ghosts, this purple talisman is undoubtedly a timely help.

The bald Taoist said: "You are indeed a very far-sighted person. The purple talisman can keep you safe for a lifetime. If you carry it with you, you can avoid all demons and ghosts in the future and protect you in safety."

Li Xiuyuan didn't speak. He just frowned when he heard this, thinking that this bald Taoist seemed to have ulterior motives, and he was full of guns.

How can there be a talisman that can last a lifetime? It is a lie. No matter how powerful this purple talisman is, it is made of paper. Even if it has Taoist magic power on it, it will rot and lose its spirituality after a few years or more.

Only jade talismans made of jade can be kept for decades, but after decades, the mana will be exhausted and become waste.

So when he heard the Taoist say that the purple talisman can last a lifetime, he knew it was a lie, empty talk.

"It seems that this Taoist priest has ulterior motives. He didn't just pass by to remind us of encountering ghosts."

Li Xiuyuan thought to himself: "Let's see what his intentions are."

He didn't interrupt the Taoist, he just wanted to see what the hell the Taoist was up to.

Wang Ping nodded again and again, and said impatiently: "Master Daoist, to tell you the truth, late life has often encountered ghosts recently, so that he thinks about it day and night, and often wakes up in his dreams. It is really a blessing for late life to meet Daoist Master today." Blessing, Daoist Master is merciful and bestowed the dharma talisman, Wan Sheng is very grateful."

As he spoke, he bent down respectfully and gave a big gift.

The bald Taoist nodded with a smile and said: "You and I are destined, and the poor Taoist wants to give you the purple talisman. However, it is not easy to refine the purple talisman. It takes a lot of money to refine it successfully. The poor Taoist practice has not It’s just a few pieces that have been refined, and each piece was begged by dignitaries and dignitaries, remember the last piece of purple talisman was bought by the master of the local Chu family, and it cost a full 1000 taels of silver.”

"Ah, this is so expensive?" Wang Ping was a little startled by the price.

Li Xiuyuan suddenly came to a sudden understanding of the bald Taoist's intentions.

Feelings want to make use of the topic to sell the Dao talisman in his hand.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shook his head with a smile in his heart.

This professional ability is strong enough, and he saw that he and Wang Ping met a ghost on the road, so he specially stopped him to sell Dao talismans.

Of course, this is not something to be ashamed of. It is normal for Taoist priests to sell talismans. After all, Taoist priests are also human beings, and they also need to use money. These money cannot be changed out of thin air, so naturally they have to be obtained through normal means.

Selling talismans is a normal way for Taoists to make money.

"I thank the Taoist priest for the reminder just now, but I won't be able to use this talisman anymore, so it won't cost the Taoist priest any more." Li Xiuyuan said with a smile.

Although what the priest said was very tempting, a talisman can be saved for a lifetime.

Don't say it's fake, even if it's true, Li Xiuyuan can't use it.

The bald Taoist was a little embarrassed when he saw that Li Xiuyuan had broken his intention, but he looked at Wang Ping next to him calmly.

"Mr. Li, if you can't use it, I can use it."

Wang Ping was really tempted, and hurriedly said: "Master Dao, it's just that your purple talisman is too expensive, can you make it cheaper?"

The bald Taoist smiled and said, "The poor Taoists send talismans based on their mood and fate. The master of the Chu family is a powerful local man. Naturally, the poor Taoist wants to charge him more gold and silver. The Chu family has a great career, and there is no lack of this." Gold and silver, but today you are predestined with Pindao, and you are short of money, this purple talisman is cheaper for Pindao."

After saying that, he pondered for a moment and said, "I'll charge you 100 taels of silver."

100 two?

Hearing the price, Wang Ping smiled wryly and said, "Wan Sheng can't afford Taoist Priest's talisman. Wan Sheng only has more than a dozen taels of silver on him."

"Well, there is no other way, this is already the lowest price of the poor, it can't be lowered, otherwise the poor will have to pay for it, but you are shy, this young man may have a lot of money I don't know if this son is willing to help the village one or two."

The bald Taoist's eyes moved to Li Xiuyuan again.

Feelings, the real purpose of this Taoist is himself.

The corner of Li Xiuyuan's mouth twitched slightly, how did he know that he had money?Don't you look like a local tyrant? I'm very low-key.

Wang Ping's eyes lit up at this moment, he quickly grabbed his hand and said, "Brother Li, please lend me 100 taels of silver, and I will pay you back later."

He knew that Li Xiuyuan was a well-known local tyrant in Guobei County, and he was not short of money. He had compensated the boatman with 100 taels of silver before.

"Brother Wang, I don't know if this talisman is real or not. If you buy a fake talisman for 100 taels of silver, wouldn't that be a waste of money?"

Li Xiuyuan reminded: "If this talisman is real, I will naturally not be stingy, so what if I lend you 100 taels of silver."

It is not a loss to buy a talisman that can drive away ghosts and avoid demons for 100 taels.

After being reminded by Li Xiuyuan, Wang Ping suddenly woke up a little bit, yes, what if the 100 taels to buy a Taoist talisman is fake?Wouldn't that be a waste of 100 taels of silver?

Although Wang Ping, who is a scholar, is not very proficient in this kind of sophistication, since he can pass the Tongsheng examination, he is naturally not a dull person to take the scholar examination.

Immediately, Wang Ping looked at the bald man suspiciously.

The bald Taoist was a little annoyed at this moment, and put away the Taoist talisman; "You two scholars slandered the poor Taoist as a liar, and the poor Taoist didn't care about you. Please ask for blessings, if a ghost comes to the door at night, Don't blame Pindao for not reminding you."

After speaking, he flicked his sleeves heavily and left.
