Chapter 21: The Underworld
Chu Liu trotted nervously with a few gun-wielding soldiers.
A year has passed, and the sixth year of junior high school is much more mature than before, wearing a decent Western-style shirt, and in this era, the whole person also seems to be a lot trendy.
When Chu Liu saw Huang Sheng, he asked with concern, "Master, I heard the sound of fighting just now, are you okay?" ”
Huang Sheng was very satisfied with the filial piety of his apprentice, coupled with the breakthrough in today's exercises, Huang Sheng was in a much happier mood, and he said with a smile, "It's okay!" I just moved my muscles. ”
After speaking, he waved his hand, and let a few soldiers behind the sixth junior high retreat.
"Did anything happen during my retreat?" Huang Sheng walked in front, and the sixth year of junior high followed behind.
"Uncle Aqiang, the disciple of Master Ma Ma Di Bozu, came over yesterday and purchased a batch of charms, including 12 ghost exorcism charms, 8 corpse suppression charms, 18 evil spirit charms, 3 fire charms, 16 golden light charms, 7 breath collection charms, 8 hemostatic charms, 2 puppet charms, 4 stand-in charms, 9 ghost suppression charms, 4 rejuvenation charms, 1 water purification charm, and 64 evil spirit exorcism charms........"
Huang Sheng, who was silently listening to the performance report of his founding disciple in the sixth year of junior high school, suddenly said "huh" and asked, "Why is the amount of exorcism talismans in the funeral home so large?" They didn't have so many exorcism talismans in the charms they bought last month, right? ”
Huang Sheng's question is not without reason, the exorcism talisman can only get rid of the yin qi and evil qi, and the damage to the yin is not high, so for some cultivators who are struggling in the front line of subduing demons and eliminating demons, the effect of the exorcism talisman is not great, but the spiritual power required to draw the talisman is not low, and the cost performance is not high!
Therefore, the sales of the exorcism charm in the "Underworld Collection" opened by the Chen Village Funeral Home in Xujia Town have not been high, and there are not many purchases in Mamadi, why has it skyrocketed so much in a month? This is something that Huang Sheng can't understand.
Chu Liu answered Huang Sheng's question, "I heard Uncle Ah Qiang say that Uncle Ah Hao, another disciple of Master Uncle Ma Ma Di, has been expanding the market of ordinary people, and he has reached a cooperation agreement with Master Wang Hui of the Heavenly Mandate Pavilion in the town. Last month, there was a rich man named Wang Dafu in the provincial capital, who obeyed Master Wang Hui's words and went to the underworld. You know that most of the spirit runes need to be activated by spiritual power, and you have told you a thousand times that we in Xujiazhen can't do anything to deceive customers, so Uncle A Hao can only recommend to him the spirit runes that will automatically activate when encountering yin qi, 5 oceans. That Wang Dafu bought a total of 3 photos. ”
"Not bad. Take 1 ocean and 1 evil exorcism talisman from us, and the spirit talisman that can not be sold at almost the original price by people in the same way, can be sold by him for 5 oceans, 5 times the profit, it is really a profiteer. I used to know that Ah Hao likes to talk big and brag, but I didn't expect him to have the ability to do this. Huang Sheng was amazed.
"Master, do you need me to warn Uncle Hao? You have always said that Xujiazhen must operate with integrity! Chu Liu asked respectfully, mentioning the warning to his elders, but it was so natural.
Without him, because the three masters and apprentices of Ma Ma Di are now opening the Underworld Collection, and they are becoming more and more golden, and the source of money that can spend all the time and wine is on the sixth day of the junior high school.
The sixth day of junior high school mastered their lifeline.
Therefore, even as the ancestor of Ahao Aqiang Ma Ma Di Shi, he has to add a lot of knots to the sixth year of junior high school.
Because he was really annoyed, he didn't supply Ma Ma Di's Underworld Collection, and with Ma Ma Di's master and apprentice skills, there was no way to resist the monastic supplies stores opened by several other sects around the funeral home.
Within three days, when the cultivators from all over the world who heard the news found that the Netherworld, which had been famous for the past year, could no longer provide high-quality and low-cost spiritual runes and magic weapons, the business would definitely be robbed by others.
The signboard of the underworld will definitely be smashed, and they will not be able to make a lot of money, so they can only rely on the dead salary allocated by the Xujia Town Government Office to live a tight life, which is unbearable for the current three masters and apprentices of Ma Ma Di.
It is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift!
This is the current situation of the three masters and apprentices of Ma Ma Di!
Hearing his capable apprentice say this, Huang Sheng chuckled, "No! Why should they manage the money they make based on their ability? They didn't cheat either? However, if the funeral home exorcises such a large amount of talismans, will it lead to a shortage of supply and an increase in costs? As soon as he heard Huang Sheng say this, Chu Liu immediately understood, and said, "Yes, master, the next time the funeral home buys goods, I will tell them that the price of the exorcism charm has risen, and it has risen to 2 oceans." ”
It doubled, and Huang Sheng smiled with satisfaction.
Not counting the labor of the sixth year of the first month, the cost of the rune paper of the exorcism charm, and the cost of cinnabar chicken blood, all add up to less than one-tenth of an ocean!
At this time, he said casually, "It's because of that Wang Dafu that the spirit rune has been developed for ordinary people's business?" ”
Chu Liu hurriedly replied, "Master, that's the case, it's also a coincidence, after Wang Dafu returned to the provincial capital, he knew that the son of a certain high-ranking official was groggy all day long, and he didn't think about tea and dinner, and the location of this high-ranking official was very important to this Wang Dafu's business, so Wang Dafu went to visit, and when he arrived, the exorcism charm that Wang Dafu carried with him automatically sensed the yin qi and burned, and the high-ranking official's son also recovered part of his clarity, only to learn that this rich kid was a ghost, and was fascinated by ghosts and yin qi. ”
Huang Sheng listened and nodded silently.
Chu Liu continued, "Because of this incident, the funeral parlor's underworld has spread in the upper circles of the provincial capital, and many wealthy businessmen have come to Xujiazhen to tell fortunes, not to mention, but also made a special trip to ask for the purchase of spirit talismans, so the demand for exorcism talismans has increased so much at once." ”
Chu Liu told Huang Sheng about the cause and effect, and seeing that Huang Sheng had no reaction, he continued, "This time, Uncle Qiang took 1,200 pieces of ocean, and the deficiencies were mortgaged with 1,000 catties of Huangling grass. We were running out of rune paper, so I agreed to use the Phoenix Ling Grass to resist the 500 oceans, so I didn't buy it from Qihuang Cave. ”
Huangling grass is the main raw material for making yellow rune paper, and after Huang Sheng's talisman production has increased greatly, the demand for rune paper is also increasing.
Therefore, Huang Sheng simply carved out a place in the trick house and opened a special rune paper workshop.
The production of rune paper does not need the participation of spiritual power, and Huang Sheng let Chu Liu take full responsibility for this matter, and the old Chu Liu directly pulled his old friend Xiao Ming in the kitchen of Xu Mansion over to be the person in charge of this handicraft workshop, leading a few masters from other places to specialize in the production of rune paper, and the monthly income is very high! Recently, a matchmaker is guaranteeing him, but he is now rich and has a high vision, so he has been on a blind date for so long, and he is still alone! But I'm going to hear about it soon!
The production of rune paper cannot be made with ordinary materials, and the spirit world generally uses phoenix grass. Huang Sheng's side is no exception.
Generally speaking, in the Southern Spirit Alien World, the Qihuang Cave behind the Taoist who appeared in "Catching Ghosts and Family Carnival" to provide the bronze armor corpse of Xishuangbanna is the best at cultivating this kind of spiritual plants, so Huang Sheng's handicraft workshop also purchases a lot from them.
This time, it was agreed that the funeral home would use the goods to offset the price, which was a bit special, but it was not a big deal.
So Huang Sheng said directly, "You can decide these things, don't tell me." ”
Huang Sheng is very busy, as the behind-the-scenes controller of Xujiazhen, the big boss, he just pays attention to the financial report, how can he do everything himself like before, so how can he have time to cultivate? How can there be a chance to break through to Jindan? The demonic threat is still there!
As soon as I heard it, I exhaled in my heart.
But at this time, Huang Sheng suddenly remembered something and asked strangely, "Isn't the funeral home very rich?" Why do you have to pay for this purchase? ”
Chu Liu immediately explained, "The funeral home was recently fined a huge amount of money, and it just so happened that they bought a batch of other goods, and the money was a little too much to turn around for a while. ”
