Chapter 51: The Strange Story of the Underworld (End)

Although Liu Yuanwai couldn't understand why the red-haired fox that jumped out of the belly of the headless land god statue asked him for a silver ticket, it was obvious that this kind of animal that could speak human words was absolutely extraordinary, and it was right to do what he said.

So Liu Yuanwai hurriedly untied his arms, took out an official ticket from the baggage, and respectfully handed it to the red fox in front of him: "Daxian, to you." ”

"Yo, fifty taels of official tickets? That's a lot. ”

The red-backed foxy fox took the silver ticket, glanced at it and nodded in satisfaction, then groped his other empty paw in the big fluffy tail behind him, and finally pulled out a paper bag folded into a square win.

(It's really the two of them, this bareback cunning fox and Hu Sanlian have the same habit of putting things.) )

I saw the bare-backed cunning fox he pinched one of Fang Sheng's edges with his paws and shook it gently, and the paper bag made a "pop" sound, and it actually turned into a silver ticket?!

The bare-backed cunning fox held a silver ticket in each of his two paws, looked at it from left to right, and nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, it has become quite like the real thing, and I really can't tell the difference without 'true insight'." ”

After speaking, the bareback cunning fox quickly reversed the silver tickets held on his left and right paws back and forth several times, and then handed the two silver tickets to Liu Yuanwai in front of him: "Work hard Liu Dao to pick out your own silver ticket." ”

Liu Yuanwai took the two silver tickets according to his words, held them up and looked at the candlelight, and was immediately stunned: "Great Immortal...... These are all official tickets with a denomination of fifty taels, how can you let me choose? ”

"Are they really fifty taels?" When the bare-backed cunning fox heard this, he immediately let out a "hey, hey, hey" smirk, and then stretched out his paw and lightly scratched the eyelid of Liu Yuanwai's left eye with the tip of a fingernail: "Now you take a look?" ”

"Look at it again, it's fifty...... Yes?! ”

Hearing Liu Yuanwai, he let out an exclamation, and his two round eyes stared at the fifty taels of silver ticket in his right hand.

I saw that the blue riding seal of the 'Hubu Official Ticket' written on the top of this silver ticket was actually turned into a bright red 'Nine Netherworld Mansion Money Warehouse Redemption Ticket'.

Even the warning at the bottom of the silver ticket, 'All forgers will be severely punished according to the law' has become 'Private seals have entered the eighteenth hell and will never be reborn'.

Where is this silver ticket, it is clearly a piece of paper burned to the dead when going to the grave!!

At this time, I heard the bareback cunning fox triumphantly reminded: "Liu Dao, you close your left eye again and try it with only your right eye?" ”

Liu Yuanwai hurriedly followed the prompt, closed his left eye, opened his right eye alone and looked at the two silver tickets in his hand, and let out a bigger exclamation when he boarded: "Ah!! ”。

I saw that the paper on Liu Yuanwai's right hand had become an official ticket of fifty taels, which looked the same as the real ticket in his left hand!

At this time, I heard the bare-backed cunning fox "hehe" and said with a smile: "Don't hide it, just now I cast an illusion on Liu Dao that can confuse people's ears, so that you can see the dark paper I picked up from the grave next to you as a real silver ticket." ”

After speaking, the bareback cunning fox paused slightly, and asked Liu Yuanwai to digest what he had just heard a little, and then spoke again to explain.

"As for the one I drew on your left eyelid earlier, it's a method dedicated to cracking this illusion, called 'True Insight'. With its help, Liu Dao, you can distinguish which one is a silver ticket and which one is a dark paper. ”

"That's it, early the next morning, my father and that Master Liu went door-to-door to find those grain merchants who hoarded a large amount of grain in their hands to buy grain, and it was this trick of 'turning paper into silver tickets' that finally allowed Master Liu to successfully raise enough food to send to the army, and then the rest of the matter, that Sun Yiheng has already told you."

As he spoke, the little fox Hu San proudly touched the long beards on his cheeks with his two oily paws.

"Since my father is nicknamed the bare-backed cunning fox, he is naturally unique in terms of illusion and deception, and all the grain merchants who accepted the 'silver tickets' they gave did not see any problems in person, and all of them happily collected money and gave food.

Even if one or two of them were a little more clever and took out one of the silver tickets and asked the guys from the grain store to take them to the money bank to check the authenticity, at that time, my father was sitting incognito, and those grain merchants rummaged through the pile of silver tickets, and finally they must have drawn those real tickets deliberately mixed in the pile of dark papers, even if the guys took it to check the authenticity, the reply of the money bank must be 'this silver ticket is real'. ”

Listening to Hu San, at that time, the bareback cunning fox and Master Liu mixed real silver tickets equivalent to the normal grain price into each handful of the paper they paid, so the grain merchants who received the paper did not lose too much money because of this, and it could be regarded as a slight punishment for this kind of hoarding habit.

Of course, no one cares about the psychological gap, and it must be small......

In order to completely protect the safety of Master Liu, and prevent those grain merchants who found out that they actually accepted the dark paper and were furious, they went to settle accounts with Master Liu after the autumn, and the bareback cunning fox also specially went door to door to cast spells on those grain merchants.

In the dream, the bareback cunning fox pretended to be a night wanderer who forbade all the subtle things in the yang, claiming that he was not used to seeing the behavior of these grain merchants taking advantage of the grain shortage to hoard grain, so he cast a spell to turn the silver tickets for the living into the dark paper burned for the dead.

The bare-backed cunning fox finally warned those grain merchants not to act ill again in the future, otherwise the dark paper they had just received would come in handy immediately!

"That's how the whole thing went. I heard my father say that when he was walking the rivers and lakes, he gradually got to know a lot of little foxes who were talented in human nature, but they couldn't transform into human shapes.

These troublemakers don't have much to do, but their ability to cause trouble is really not small.

My father is afraid that they will only rely on their own ways of foolishness, and in the end, it will be a pity if they go down the wrong path again because of this, so he has the heart to bring them together, so he has to come over from time to time to remind them and give them guidance.

However, our red smoke cave is too narrow to accommodate so many fox fairies, so my father turned into a human form again, went to borrow a piece of land from Master Liu, who had been promoted to two levels by the Universiade, and finally borrowed a secluded small courtyard to house these naughty ghosts.

Every once in a while, our family will send a fox fairy with a good way to guide and remind them.

This time it was just in time for me Hu San to go out to travel the rivers and lakes, so my dad sent me the errand of educating the trick-or-treaters.

When I arrived, I happened to meet that Xuantongzi rushing into the small courtyard and shouting and shouting to kill, so I shot lightly and lightly to teach Xiao Liu Yuanwai's gang a lesson. ”

Listening to Hu San, in fact, the fox who was startled by firecrackers and ran around the wall in the room that day was not injured, and the "bang" sound of hitting the wall was kicked out by them with their hind legs, in order to lead the firecracker thrower to the window to check the reality in the house.

So the man who threw the firecracker was knocked downstairs by the white forehead and a hammer that had been lying in ambush under the window for a long time......

"What I mean by the thick burial is actually to let Xiao Liu put more valuable funeral goods in the white forehead and the three of them in the clothed mound.

In case in the future, when they walk the rivers and lakes, they are short of money, and they can also come to dig their own graves for emergency, what is the use of this donated underworld? Improper eating and drinking. I knew that this was the case, so I asked for a silver ticket directly. ”

According to Yang Congxun's later recollection, at the end of that day's 'Bingji Night Talk', Hu San was very annoyed by his bad idea of 'burying the three foxes', at that time Yang Congxun was unable to verify whether he smiled or not, anyway, Yang Si laughed so much that he went under the table.
