After returning to the funeral parlor and buying his spiritual artifacts, the husky calculated his losses and realized that he still needed something.
That was a talisman!
As for making talismans, every Taoist priest in each sect had their own secret in making talismans. Moreover, the special techniques of making talismans were also the secret of each sect. Generally speaking, only a few elders in the sect knew about it.
There was a saying that fortune-tellers were often blind, feng shui was often lame, drawing talismans did not lead to longevity, fortune-tellers did not lead to old age, tomb raiding rarely led to a rich life, and the wife who left the corpse was scattered again…
Talismans were drawn by professional talismans painters. Taoist priests rarely drew them. Even if they did, they would only draw very few of them. Drawing talismans was like tomb raiding in the five evils and three defects. This was a lack of Yin virtue and would shorten one's lifespan!
Erha couldn't do something like shortening one's lifespan. Many Taoist priests also felt that they couldn't do it. What should they do?
To catch ghosts, one had to use talismans. If one didn't draw talismans, then what was the point of playing with eggs?
Therefore, at this time, there had to be an unlucky person (talisman maker) to take the blame!!
Summing up the current mainstream talisman making methods in the nine provinces, they could be roughly divided into the following two types.
The first was the Mortal Talisman. The process was very simple. He just needed to find some mortals and spend money to make them draw according to some name talismans! This kind of talisman did not care about the origin. Anyone could draw it. Of course, this kind of talisman only had the appearance and did not have a trace of magic power. It could only scare the living soul that had just died. If it was an older living soul, lonely soul, or corpse ghost, cough cough, this was just a bait. The ghost would think that it had been insulted and then think of ways to kill you! Furthermore, Mortal Talismans were extremely damaging to one's Yin Virtue. Those who drew Mortal Talismans would only be unlucky for a period of time if they drew a few. If they drew too many, a bloody disaster would come in no time!
The second type was of a higher grade. It was called the Disciple Talisman. The Disciple Talisman sounded very high-end and high-class, but Erha could tell you very clearly that this thing was a real bloody talisman! Some cultivators, especially those mortals who had accidentally inherited Taoist skills or half a Taoist book, did not like Mortal Talismans after their cultivation was very high. However, they did not know the way of making talismans of other sects, so they developed a new way of making talismans that was more powerful. They would accept disciples and then teach some Taoist skills to their disciples under various names. Then, they would control their disciples and let their disciples sacrifice their lives to draw talismans for them. Disciples themselves were people with magical power, so the talismans drawn by them were naturally more reliable than those of mortals. Secondly, the karma of drawing talismans was also offset by their disciples. What was the most popular saying in the world of orthodoxy? Ah, it's better to die than to die. Anyway, don't get involved with me. It's fine. This kind of talisman was the most commonly used in the world of cultivation today. It was also the most bloody one. All talismans came at the cost of human lives and the loss of luck.
Wasn't it miserable? This was Dao!
Therefore, one should never expect that the cultivation of some so-called fortune-tellers could be comparable to the cultivation of the great sects such as Longhu Mountain, Tongtian Temple, and Mao Mountain. The fact that they could pass down incense meant that their cultivation and secret arts were absolutely dominant in the Yin and Yang World!
It was still the same old saying. The inheritance of talisman making had always depended on one's cultivation. To put it bluntly, cultivation depended on one's foundation. People deserved to die when compared to others, and goods should be thrown away when compared to goods. The so-called broken book in the novel that defeated the dragon and tiger of Mao Mountain was simply nonsense!
Back to the main topic.
The sky slowly turned dark, and it still fell in front of the morgue. In the blink of an eye, three days had passed.
Li Erha sat on the steps of the morgue and looked at the sky. Then, he looked at the empty corpses behind him. It had been three days. In three days, Li Erha had burned forty-six corpses. Unfortunately, none of them had undergone the Resurrection Ceremony. In other words, all forty-six people were dead...
Li Erha's talisman making technique was a secret technique of the Heavenly Reaching Temple--
Ghost Talisman, as the name implied, was to catch a ghost and then let the ghost draw a talisman for it like how the husky kept cows and horses!
Compared to the incompetence of the first method of drawing talismans, ghosts had their three souls and seven spirits tempered, so the talismans they drew were almost full of spiritual power!!
Compared to the cruelty of the second type of disciple talisman technique, wandering spirits would not be punished if they were not in the Six Paths. Naturally, they would not suffer from the karma of heaven and earth!
The Heavenly Temple believed that ghosts were the best choice for drawing talismans!
Ghosts, paintings, and talismans were the secret talisman-making methods of the Heavenly Reaching Temple.
Talismans drawn by ghosts were durable and full of spiritual power. Moreover, they were easier to draw and did not stick to the hand. No matter if it was the Suppression Formula, the Pardon Formula, the Lian Formula, or the Formation Formula, they felt good to the touch and were of A-grade effect. After the Heavenly Temple's 2005-generation founder's certification, the ghost talisman was the authentic talisman of the Heavenly Temple...
The problem that the husky was currently facing was where to catch a ghost. Right now, he really wanted a ghost that was alive and kicking to appear in front of him!
Li Erha was very distressed. Damn it, it had been three days since he returned to the sun. In other words, he hadn't encountered a ghost for three days. The Heaven Punishment Wood, Seven Yin Blood, and a bunch of magical artifacts had all been sent over, but he still hadn't found a ghost…
On the same morning, after work, Li Erha was smoking a cigarette. He was wearing a shirt and had a melancholic frown as he walked along the road to the breakfast stall.
" Five yuan for a newspaper." The husky reached out and gave the money to the golden retriever.
The golden retriever stuck its neck out, and a newspaper was hanging from its neck. It bit the money, and the husky took one of the newspapers.
"Woof woof woof!" The big dog wagged its tail, as if saying, welcome to come again next time.
Li Erha took the newspaper and walked into the breakfast stall. Erha liked this newspaper. It was always comprehensive and could find all kinds of strange news.
"Boss, a serving of tofu pudding and fried pancakes. I want salted tofu pudding!”
"Alright!"
“……”
The husky sat in the corner and carefully searched every corner of the newspaper.
The newspaper headline read," American archaeologists enter the Egyptian pyramids..."
Li Erha commented in his heart. You guys are really tired of living. How dare you provoke Sphynx cat's curse? This Penniless Priest admires your suicidal spirit. Ah, no, it's your scientific spirit.
The rest of the news were all advertisements that were unique to Jiuzhou. For example, a certain celebrity was sad, the plot developed, a certain supermarket had a big bargain, not 9998, not 99998, only 998, the latest home appliances...
The husky was almost done eating, but it still couldn't find what it wanted from the newspaper. It couldn't help but sigh. It was hard to find ghosts these days. Was there any news about ghosts or spirits?
Just as the husky was about to leave, he heard someone whispering to him.
"Have you heard? Something strange happened on Changming Road!”
"I heard! Why haven't I heard about it? That incident caused quite a stir. I heard that more than ten people were sent to the hospital!”
"Auntie, I think the shop that got into trouble is also courting death. He actually earns money from the dead these days. Heh, this time, the dead came to his door. If he doesn't scare him to death, who else will?”
" That's right. The shop owner's entire family is in the hospital. I reckon that it'll be hard for them to come back to life…"
" That's not right, Auntie. I heard that the shop owner has a daughter who's still in school. She's coming back to visit her family recently…"
“……”
Li Erha went over and looked at the two aunties who were eating. He asked curiously," What's the situation? Please tell me about it."
The middle-aged woman looked at Er Ha's handsome and friendly face and couldn't help but be pleased. One of the middle-aged women said in a low voice," It's like this. A few nights ago, a strange thing happened on Changming Road. Someone saw the shop owner and his shop assistant wearing burial clothes and walking in circles on the street. The next day, it was on the news. Later, I found out that the shop owner thought that his business was not good, so he thought of a way to advertise. He pretended to be a ghost to scare people and made the headlines…"
The husky thought for a moment." This is a wonderful idea. That shop owner's business should be booming!”
"Humph!" Another auntie said," That shop owner must have been obsessed with money. In order to make money, he disguised himself as a ghost to scare people and made it onto the news. But later, someone said that there were strange sounds coming from their burial clothes shop, and there were also very terrifying screams. The next day, all the windows were broken. The shop owner and a group of assistants in the shop who disguised themselves as ghosts were all unconscious. People nowadays are not as old as they used to be. They earn money from the dead and ruin the reputation of the dead. He deserves it…"
Li Erha nodded and also spat." That's right, Auntie is right! He actually pretended to be a dead person to swindle and make money. He deserved it!”
"Young man, don't talk nonsense about ghosts.”
"That's right, that's right. Young man, we're full. We'll leave first.”
"Yes, yes…"
The two aunties were dressed in a very western-style manner. It looked like they were going to square dance. Li Erha's eyes were filled with joy. He had a goal! There was a ghost in the shroud shop! Hey, catch him and draw a talisman for This Penniless Priest!!
