Chapter 1420 It's only Natural to Pay Off Debts

early morning,

Birdsong came.

Jiang Hao opened his eyes, took a deep breath of the cool and pure mountain air, and felt that his whole body was full of vitality from inside to outside.

A night of practice makes people feel refreshed physically and mentally.

Looking at the place where Zhu Guang practiced last night, the guy had long since disappeared, "Zhu Guang, where is it?"

"Young master, I'm in the bamboo tube."

A voice came from Jiang Hao's sleeve.

"Before dawn, I heard the crowing of the rooster, so I went back to the bamboo tube. What is your order?"

"Can't you walk freely in the sun?" Jiang Hao asked.

"It's okay, but if you are scorched by the sun, it will always be like a fire, and you will be very sad. You will also consume ghost energy and gradually become weaker, so you don't like to appear in the sun. If you have something to do, the little one will show up." body." Zhu Guang said.

"No, you stay here, I'll get some food first, and I'll go see your burial place later." Jiang Hao got up and stood up.

"Look at the place where I'm buried?" Zhu Guang asked curiously.

Jiang Hao took out water to wash his face, and said while washing: "It can make you a ghost, and the place where the bones are buried is probably not simple. I'm afraid it's a dark place. It's not good for the ghost's mind after a long time, and it is easy to produce violent breath."

"The other thing is, I want to see if I can train you into a lich." Jiang Hao said.

"A lich? What is a lich?" Zhu Guang asked.

"Don't worry about this, let's see if you can master it." Jiang Hao said.

After breakfast, Jiang Hao found some tools and went out. He walked all the way to Beishan. When he passed the small road, there were already farmers plowing in the field. Finally, he entered the mountain. A bundle of firewood.

The woodcutter saw that Jiang Hao was wearing a scholar's robe and was alone. When Jiang Hao passed by, he kindly reminded him: "This scholar, the mountain is steep, the rocky road is slippery, and there are ferocious beasts. You must be careful."

"Thank you for reminding me, old man." Jiang Hao replied with a smile.

Seeing Jiang Hao's insistence, the woodcutter shook his head and left with a large bundle of firewood on his back. When he was far away, Zhu Guang in the bamboo tube said, "I have seen this woodcutter since I was a child. He has been collecting firewood for decades. , can be considered an old acquaintance."

finally,

In a bamboo forest in the mountains, Jiang Hao found the place where Zhu Guang was buried. Jiang Hao looked at it and found that his guess was right. This place is indeed a shady place, suitable for gathering souls and raising ghosts.

Use the shovel you brought to dig up the ground, find the bones, take out a frame from the space, put the bones away, and put all these into the space.

Back at his home, Jiang Hao pondered for a while. If he wanted to make a lich, he needed a magic vessel that could accommodate him. Most importantly, he needed a magic jade talisman. In the jar, in this case, even if Zhu Guang is destroyed, with that bit of true spirit, it will slowly recover.

Jar is easy to say, clay pots are enough, but magic artifacts and jade charms are troublesome. The main reason is that Jiang Hao has no money now and cannot afford jade.

"How did you get the money?" Jiang Hao finally said.

Zhu Guang in the bamboo tube said: "My lord, I have a way to get money. There are many tombs in the mountains near here. Some rich people buried gold and silver with them. I can find a place. When the night comes, you can dig it up and go to the grave." Yes."

Jiang Hao immediately denied this proposal, "I am a disciple of the Sanqing, a cultivator, and it is the most taboo to dig graves to damage Yin virtue."

"Then what should we do?" Zhu Guang had no choice.

Jiang thought for a while, "In the evening, you go to the mountains to hunt two wild boars. There is a wheelbarrow at home. I will take it to the town and sell it tomorrow. I think it can be exchanged for some money."

Soon at night, Zhu Guang disappeared, and not long after, two wild boars were carried out from the mountain, each weighing about two hundred catties, and tied up on a wheelbarrow.

It was another night of practice, and when he woke up the next day, Jiang Hao pushed the wooden wheel and went out early. When he came to the town, many businesses had already opened. Someone saw Jiang Hao pushing two wild boars, and was very surprised, "Hey, isn't this Jiang Scholar? Why did you start a pig business, it seems that you are not ready to study."

"What kind of book do you study? You can't even pass the child's test. You don't have a wife in your twenties. How will you live in the future?"

"Actually, Jiang Shu grew up very well."

Pushing the cart to the butcher shop, I found the butcher and asked the price, "I set a trap in the mountains yesterday to catch two wild boars, do you want it?"

The butcher looked at the wild boar and gave a price, which was a bit low. Jiang Hao didn’t bother about it too much. He sold both pigs to the butcher, and the total price was three taels of silver. This was not a small amount of money in ancient times, enough for one The family of three lives for half a year.

During the transaction, a servant in Tsing Yi came over to buy meat. He was taken aback when he saw Jiang Hao, and then smiled, "Hey, isn't this Jiang Scholar, who owes us 60 taels of silver to the bank, and you still have money to buy meat!"

Many people gasped when they heard that Jiang Hao owed the Hu family bank 60 taels of silver, sixty taels, I am afraid that Jiang Scholar is really going to ruin his family.

At this time, the butcher came out with the money and said with a smile, "Scholar Jiang is not here to buy meat, but to sell pigs."

The family member was a little surprised, and then showed a joking expression, "Why, Jiang Shusheng is not going to study, is he changing to raising pigs, hahaha interesting."

Jiang Hao glanced at the servant and said, "You may not know that the most profitable industry in 2019 is raising pigs, so don't look down on pig raisers."

The servant was dumbfounded, and was very puzzled by Jiang Hao's words.

But Jiang Hao was not interested in explaining to him, so he took the money and left, turned around and came to the street, first went to the grain store to buy 10 catties of rice, he couldn't just eat pork all at once.

I went to the drugstore and bought 2 taels of cinnabar, and went to the paper store to buy a knife of yellow paper. Although the brush was bald, it was still usable.

I came to the jade shop and walked around, and found that the jade was expensive, often costing tens of taels of silver, and finally chose a cheap sapphire plate without a letter, the price was one and a half taels.

I went to the blacksmith's shop again and bought a set of carving knives.

In this way, the three liang of silver for selling pigs was spent, but all the things needed were counted.

Just when Jiang Hao was about to leave the town and go home, a voice next to him shouted, "Brother Jiang, Hanyang, brother Hanyang?"

Jiang Hao was thinking about how to engrave a jade talisman when he went back, but he didn't realize it at first. When the person stood in front of him, he realized that this person was calling him, and his character was Hanyang.

Looking at the young man in front of him, Jiang Hao remembered who it was, his former classmate Cui Sheng.

Ordinary clothes, ordinary appearance, ordinary height, ordinary temperament, in short, he is an extremely ordinary guy.

Jiang Hao cupped his hands, "Brother Cui, it turned out to be you."

Cui Sheng looked at Jiang Hao and said, "The county exam will be held in one month. I went to the county yesterday and posted an announcement. Today I will start registering at the county hall. Let me ask you, will you still take the exam this year? If you do, we will take the exam." Combine several classmates to form mutual insurance policies."

Candidates take the county test and need to reciprocate or recognise.

Guarantee that he does not pretend to be a fake identity, does not hide in funerals, does not have a substitute, does not use a false name, and guarantees that he is innocent, that he is not the descendant of a prostitute, and he has not committed any crimes.

The mutual insurance policy is five examinees joint insurance, and the five cheaters will sit together and be punished together. Recognized insurance policy is to ask the county to produce insurance. Guaranteed birth insurance costs money, so many poor candidates adopt the joint insurance model, and they usually call on classmates who know everything about it.

In the previous two exams, Jiang Hao had joined Cui Sheng and the others, so he absolutely knew the basics.

The county test, of course, is the test.

Even if you don't want to be an official, you still have to be a scholar. In ancient times, without status or guidance, it was difficult for ordinary people to move forward.

His task is to eliminate evil spirits from heaven and earth. Jiang Hao pondered, killing demons and demons must be the key to it. If you want to travel around, you must have an identity. Problems are also easier to solve.

"Of course I have to take the exam, who else?" Jiang Hao asked.

"Han Yi, Zhao Licheng, Li He."

The appearances of these people flashed through Jiang Hao's mind one by one. They are all classmates, idiots who share the same disease, nodded, "Count me in."

Cui Sheng smiled and said yes, but stopped when he was about to leave, frowned slightly and said, "Brother Jiang, I just heard gossip from the townspeople that you owe 60 taels of silver to the Hu family bank, will it affect the exam?"

"No, the big deal is to give them the land." Jiang Hao shook his head and said.

Cui Sheng wanted to say something, but felt that he could not help Jiang Hao, so he nodded and left.

Back home, Jiang Hao got busy at dawn, carefully carving the sapphire tablet in his hand, and runes appeared one after another. As the sky outside the window was getting darker, Jiang Hao lit the oil lamp and continued. After working for two hours, he finally carved it.

Zhu Guang came out after dark and saw that Jiang Hao was busy, so he ran to cook. Jiang Hao finally straightened up and hurried over and said, "My lord, I have already prepared the food, steamed rice and stewed pork."

Jiang Hao said in his heart, this ghost servant is quite caring, as expected of me helping you for a few hours. After eating, Jiang Hao asked Zhu Guang to hide beside him, took out a brush and dipped it in cinnabar, and pinched Fajue with one hand, and the other Hand quick draw.

The cinnabar blended into the jade talisman, as if there was a flash of inspiration. When the last stroke was finished, a burst of brilliance burst out from the green talisman, and then disappeared.

Smiling and nodding, yes, it's finally done.

Looking at Zhu Guang beside him, he said, "Zhu Guang, I have a way to store a little of your true spirit on this jade card. From then on, even if you are severely injured and your soul dies, because of this little true spirit, I can still save you." recover."

Zhu Guang was overjoyed, then he would become immortal, and no one would be afraid, anyway, the young master has the means to regenerate himself.

"Thank you, my lord," Zhu Guang thanked.

"Now I'm going to separate a strand from your soul. This process will be a little painful, so bear with it," Jiang Hao said.

"Don't worry, I'm not afraid of pain, you can do whatever you want!" Zhu Guang said, patting his chest.

"Ah~~!!!"

A shrill scream spread far, far away, and the birds that were already asleep were startled and flew up.

Zhu Guang was lying on the ground, gasping for breath, his solid body was now translucent, he raised his eyes to look at the busy Jiang Hao, and slandered in his heart, son, you said it hurts a little bit, this is a pain. A little bit? You just took half my life away.

The bones were packed in earthen jars, and jade charms were placed at the bottom of the altar. Jiang Hao buried the jars on the half slope at the back of the house. From then on, this is the real burial place of Zhu Guang.

Clap the dust on your hands, finally completed, this Zhu Guang is worth cultivating!

In fact, raising Zhu Guang, Jiang Hao is also a kind of exercise for what he learned in Maoshan in the past. Before, there was only theory, but now it is practice, and there is innovation. What he learned is a bit complicated, anyway, use what is easy to use.

Back in the room, Jiang Hao took out the yellow paper and began to draw talismans. After a while, he finished drawing two talismans, fell into a triangle and threw them to Zhu Guang.

"There are two talismans here, a talisman for protecting the yin and a talisman for protecting the sun. With these two talismans, you can reveal your body at will during the day without being burned by the yang energy." Jiang Hao said.

Zhu Guang took it over with great joy and thanked him again and again.

"Okay, let's go outside and practice by yourself." After Zhu Guang was dismissed, Jiang Hao continued to draw, and drew five or six intermediate-level talismans in a row, exhausting his spiritual power before stopping.

Now that he has been able to draw eight intermediate talisman seals in one go, he himself estimates that the breakthrough is not far away, and he hopes to break through as soon as possible so that he can see the power of higher talisman seals.

Look at the several dao talismans on the table, such as exorcising evil spirits, breaking evil spirits, suppressing souls, and stopping bleeding with swords.

He owed 60 taels of silver to the Hu family's bank, and it was only natural to pay back the debt. This matter must be resolved. He was going to take these talismans and sell them to the Hu family's master. He didn't know how much he would bid.
