Section 37 Yin Si Shop

I followed the guidance of this female ghost and walked to the side of the road to look at the shops, how to say, there are still many differences from the shops in the world.

Since most of the buildings of Yin Si are a kind of wooden archway corner tower in the Ming and Qing dynasties, those who have watched ancient dramas should know what the shops were like at that time, some doors are made of wooden boards, and when opening a store, you need to remove the wooden planks that block the door one by one, and put them on the walls on both sides of the door, and some can be opened directly.

There are couplets hanging at the door, but the couplets in the world are all black on a red background or gold on a red background, which looks very energetic; The couplet hanging at the door of Yinsi's shop is black on a white background, which makes people look a little solemn.

I remember when I was a child, I went back to my hometown and saw the dead people doing funerals, and the door was hung with black and white couplets. I remember asking my parents why other people's couplets are red paper, but this family uses white paper, because his family didn't buy red paper.

At that time, most of the couplets were written by the old people in the village themselves, and if the old people at that time could write a good hand, when there was a New Year's festival or someone got married, the family would take something to ask for words early.

I remember that my mother told me that the couplets hung on happy occasions such as New Year's and holiday weddings are called "happy couplets", which are for the living; The couplets hung in the funeral are called "mourning couplets", also called "elegiac couplets", which are for the dead to see.

Another point is that there is a horizontal batch of happy couplets, and the mourning couplet is called a couplet written on the wreath, which can be without a horizontal batch, and the funeral scene can be hung with a horizontal batch, but generally speaking, there is none.

At that time, I was still young, and it was strange that people were dead, and what couplets did they still read, and how did they still read couplets.

But now that I see the shop in front of me with the "mourning couplet" hanging at the door, I understand how people look at couplets after death.

Just like the shop in front of me, the mourning couplet hanging at the door is "sigh for the past sojourn and travel, and I am happy to be a heavenly citizen forever in the future", which looks like writing an inn.

But I'm not sure, so I had to go in and ask, a little boy like a ghost inside said a few words to me, this is indeed an inn, look at the ghosts inside, the ghosts are boiling, there are a lot of ghosts.

As if he inquired about where to sell high-end gifts, the little boy stretched out his hand and pointed to a shop diagonally opposite and said, "Go there and have a look." ”

I looked in the direction he pointed, and found that it was a shop that looked very spacious, and its door was not blocked with wooden boards, but similar to the shop in our world, it was a normal door that could be opened and closed, and I saw a couplet hanging on both sides of the door, which read, "I wish you all the wine and food are satisfied, and we should be sent to the door alone", but this is not like a couplet, if you change it to a piece of red paper, you can hang it at the door of the shop in the sun.

Looking at the meaning of this couplet, it should be selling some food, which just meets my requirements, and I didn't hesitate at the moment, and walked in with my legs raised.

As soon as I entered the door, I found that I had gone to the right place, the room was not very big, the side against the wall was placed with wooden cabinets, the cabinet door was closed and I didn't know what was put in, there was a counter by the door, and there was a person standing in the counter with a pale face, but his cheeks and lips were painted red, wearing a ghost with a dark pattern coat on a blue background, and a small melon skin hat of the same fabric on his head.

When he saw me enter, the ghost grinned slightly, and before he could speak, he heard him say, "I don't know what the guest officer needs?" ”

When I got closer, I realized that it was not a ghost, but a paper man, probably controlled by a ghost with great mana.

This situation is actually quite common in Yin Si, and I didn't care about it, so I pointed to the cabinets around and asked, "Is there anything from above?" ”

"Above" refers to the yang world. Seeing me ask him, the paper man nodded, then walked out of the counter and respectfully asked me what kind of things I needed.

I scratched my head, I didn't know what Cui Fujun liked, thinking of the reluctance on his face when he handed me the piece of ghost jade, and the joy in his eyes when he received the jasmine tea I gave him, I decided to send him some good tea to drink.

Seeing that I wanted to do something, the paper man didn't rush, and stood aside and waited respectfully. This kind of paper figure is just a thing made by a great mana, and if you send a soul into the paper figure, it will be able to understand the simple orders given by its master, and it can do many things.

Some great manas like to be paper figurines to serve themselves, because the paper figurines they make are generally incomplete, and many things cannot be thought about independently, so naturally there will be no rebellion.

However, there are also some great manas who are very confident in their abilities and means, and they will make paper figures with sound souls, such paper figures can think independently, have high intelligence, and can solve many things independently.

The paper figure in front of me is obviously able to think for himself, and is obviously a high-level paper figure with a sound soul.

After thinking about it for a while, I decided to buy some high-grade tea, so I asked him if he had any tea from above and what varieties they had.

The paper figure was visibly stunned for a moment, and I saw it standing there motionless, and the soul fluctuations I had felt from it before were no longer obvious, apparently discussing with its owner.

The high-level paper figure can communicate with its owner within a certain range, somewhat similar to the psychic communication seen in books before, but it is really soul communication.

I wasn't in a hurry, just took a casual look in the room, and I knew that although the paper figure in front of me was communicating with its owner, it still had a part of the soul paying attention to me, after all, such a big store couldn't help but look at it.

After waiting for a short time, the paper man walked up to me and said very respectfully: "Please wait a moment, the master attaches great importance to this transaction, and he said that he will come over soon." ”

I nodded, and began to look at the contents of the cupboard, which were not important in the sun, such as some glass beads, a few pieces of paper, a piece of wood, or even a small stone.

This is too much for me who has just come down from the yang world, well, how to say it, there is a feeling of treating garbage as a treasure, but thinking about the difficulty of these things from the yang world to the yin world, I do understand a little.

Generally speaking, if you want to get something in the yang world to the yin division, you can only get it through the worship of the living relatives in the yang world, after all, the yin and yang are separated, for the ghosts of the yin division, especially for the new ghosts who have just become ghosts, the slightest trace of yang energy may hurt their ghost bodies that have not yet stabilized.

Usually these situations will be told by the new ghost's leading ghost, that is, the land where the new ghost is located, but after I die, there is no ghost to guide me, and I naturally don't know these things, but I am a big one, except for the bad point of dying at a young age, there is nothing.

After my death, I wandered around in the yang world and touched many things in the yang world, but I was not hurt by those yang qi, which is probably related to my pure yang eight characters.
