The origin of doom

Chapter 28 Weird Footsteps
On this day, when Chougui came back, she said that she had found a place to sell talisman paper and talisman pens, but the price was too expensive, and even the worst talisman pen cost 3000 yuan a piece!As for the cut yellow talismans, each piece costs ten yuan!I thought it was a robbery!Ten yuan for such a small talisman?A piece of A50 paper can be cut into about five sheets, that is to say, a piece of yellow paper of A[-] size can be sold for [-] yuan, which is a scam!
You know, a piece of ordinary A[-] printing paper is only a few cents!The price difference is a thousand times!
I frowned and asked, "Why is it so expensive? I only saved 100 yuan in pocket money this month."

Chou Gui said: "Find a way by yourself, as long as you buy the talisman pen, talisman paper, ink, chicken blood, and cinnabar, you can try to draw talismans."

The fourth brother said beside him: "You have improved a lot this month. Your strength, endurance and reaction speed have been greatly enhanced. With the lightning strike wooden sword and notebook, it is estimated that Li Gui, who has been practicing for 50 years, can't help you. You can try To help others and ask for a small reward as appropriate, we martial arts practitioners must have a sense of justice and responsibility."

Chou Gui agreed and said: "That's right, you must always keep your heart, and don't let yourself be depraved."

While I was doing my homework, I replied: "Got it, I'm going out tonight to try my luck and earn enough money as soon as possible."

In fact, I really want to learn how to draw talismans as soon as possible, because after I learn it, I can use talismans to open my eyes anytime and anywhere, without the help of cow tears or precious objects.But the price of buying those materials is really not a small amount. I need to prepare at least 5000 yuan to barely cover it.

why?
Although the talisman pen only costs 1000, it can be used for a long time, so the price is acceptable.But talisman paper is too expensive, and it is a consumable. [-] yuan can only buy [-] cut sheets, and when I just started learning, it is inevitable that I will make mistakes or fail, so I need to prepare at least [-] sheets.In addition, I will use my savings to buy some ink, cinnabar, chicken blood and the like. . .I'm going to be a pauper again.

But in order to learn how to draw symbols as soon as possible, I will bear it!After all, time is running out. He Yangde has been urging me a lot lately. It seems that he is impatient to wait. He wants me to use Taoism to see if I am a real Taoist. He sent Li Gui to kill me.

……

After I finished my homework, I came to the night market. This time I acted alone, because Chougui would not come with me. He wanted me to hone it alone. As for the fourth brother, his skills were too low, so I didn't let him follow him.

When I came to the night market, it was almost nine o'clock in the evening, and the number of people shopping decreased a lot. As I walked, I observed the passers-by to see if they showed signs of being entangled by roses.When I was observing pedestrians, there were also a few wandering spirits nearby observing me, because the sun fires on my shoulders were extinguished, and they seemed to want to possess me very much.

But I warned them in a low voice not to approach, and I will not be responsible for any injuries.Who knows that there is really a fool who doesn't believe in evil and insists on coming up to try, but as soon as he touches my body, he is thrown out!Just kidding, do you really think the notes I keep in my arms are decorations?Even if I only have one Yanghuo left, as long as I have notes, I won't be able to get up!
I turned around and finally found a target!It was a middle-aged aunt who was selling insoles at a small stall. Her face was very haggard. She looked about 40 years old, but there were many wrinkles on her face. Right now, it can be clearly seen that there is a group of Yin Qi between her eyebrows. Although the Yin Qi is not strong, it is also a sign of Yin Qi invading the body.

I was squatting in front of the stall, and my aunt hurriedly greeted me warmly: "Son, do you want to buy insoles? How big are your feet?"

I shook my head and asked, "Auntie, have you encountered any strange things recently? For example, having nightmares, or feeling inexplicably cold?"

She immediately became vigilant: "Do you want to cheat my money? Go, go, I have no money."

Indeed, I look like a student, and my credibility is not high.But if Master Jiang said these words, it is estimated that Auntie would believe them deeply. After all, not everyone can pretend that he is so unpredictable.And looking at this aunt's plain clothes and haggard face, you can tell that she must be living in a tight financial situation, but I am short on time and am in a hurry to spend money. . .Helping her is definitely not going to make money.

I pondered for two seconds, and decided to help her. Although I don't know her, and I can't make any money, since I have the ability to save her, I can't stand by and do nothing. That's not my character!So I said: "Auntie, don't get me wrong, I'm not a liar, and I don't care if you ask for a penny. Please think carefully, have you encountered any strange things recently?"

Seeing that my eyes were so clear that I didn't seem to be lying, my aunt gradually relaxed her vigilance and recalled: "It's true. My house is relatively remote. When I go home from the night market at night, I can always hear footsteps behind me. But When I turned around, I couldn’t see anyone. When I walked, the footsteps followed; when I stopped, the footsteps stopped, and at night, I could always hear some movement in the room, as if someone was whispering. Son, how did you know that something strange happened to me?"

"Auntie, to tell you the truth, I am actually a Taoist priest. Seeing the black air between your brows, it is obviously a sign of being entangled by roses."

The aunt touched the center of her brows: "There is black air between my brows? Why can't I feel it? Do you still have it now?"

"Yes, it's Yin Qi, you can't see it yourself, and you can't wipe it off with your hands. But don't worry, I will help you solve this trouble."

The aunt chuckled: "Whether it's true or not, you are quite polite."

"Thank you for your compliment, but Auntie, this monster usually doesn't take the initiative to pester people. Have you offended anyone recently? Or have you offended anyone before? And that person just died again?" I asked. He had to analyze what kind of thing was haunting her first, that's why he asked this question.

The aunt thought for a while, then shook her head and said, "No, who can I offend as a laid-off female worker?"

I rubbed my chin and asked, "Then what time do you close the stall every night?"

"Around ten o'clock."

"Ten o'clock...it's a bit late, but it doesn't matter, I'll wait here until ten o'clock today to see if the rose will appear."

During the conversation, I learned that she has a son who is about the same age as me. He is also in high school, but he is studying abroad. He also said that his academic performance is very good, but because of the distance, he can only come back after a long vacation.My aunt also asked me about my academic performance, and I replied that I was second in the class. My aunt hurriedly praised me for being smart and good at studying, which made me embarrassed to continue the next sentence: In fact, I was the last one.

Soon, it was ten o'clock in the evening, the time for Auntie to close the stall, but I didn't see anything haunting her, so I said: "Auntie, I didn't see anything haunting you, why don't I see you tomorrow?" Send you a short distance to try, but not today, it's too late, I have to go home, goodbye."

As I was walking home, I was thinking about why my auntie didn't see the rose that was entangled with her, even though she had dark eyes on her brows. . .Suddenly, I patted my head!My heart said how stupid I am!There are too many people in the night market, the yang energy is strong, and the ghosts with low morals dare not approach, this must be the reason!That's why Auntie could only hear footsteps following her after she left the night market. . .

……

The next day, in the evening, I came to the night market again and asked my aunt if she heard footsteps last night. The aunt was pale and said that since I reminded her yesterday, she had paid special attention to it, and it turned out that there were indeed!very horrible!I said, "Auntie, close the stall 10 minutes early tonight, and I'll take you a distance to see what kind of beast is haunting you."

The aunt nodded repeatedly and said, "I'm sorry for your trouble, child."

"It's okay, no trouble, I'll come back around 09:30." After finishing speaking, I continued to wander around the night market, hoping to find other targets, but unfortunately I didn't find anything, and the time soon reached 09:30.I went back to my aunt's booth and found that she was packing up and preparing to close the booth.

Within a few minutes, the stalls were cleaned up. She was pushing the bicycle, and I followed. After leaving the night market, we walked through the building area. During this time period, there were almost no pedestrians in the building area, and we hadn’t left yet. How far away, I heard a footstep behind me, except for my aunt and me. . .
