Volume 1 Seven Grades of Taoist Priests Chapter 35 Fish Talisman

Qi Xuansu left Taiqing Square, walked all the way back to Haichanfang, and as soon as he entered the Beifang Gate, he met his neighbor Cui Daogu.

Qi Xuansu put away his thoughts and put on a smiling face: "Aunt Cui." ”

"Xiao Qi." Cui Daogu was stunned when she saw Qi Xuansu, "It just so happens that someone from Fangsi came to you just now, saying that someone sent you something for you to pick it up, and you happened to be not at home, so you asked me to pass on a message." ”

Qi Xuansu was a little surprised: "There is Aunt Lao Cui." ”

"You're welcome, they're all neighbors." Cui Daogu didn't have too much politeness with Qi Xuansu, beckoned an ox cart, and hurriedly went.

Qi Xuansu changed direction and walked towards Fang Si.

Yujing City is a square market pattern, but it does not implement the square market system, there is no curfew and control of access to say, and the twenty-four squares of Yujing are very large, equivalent to one hundred and eight squares of the ancient city.

Daomen set up 24 fangs in each of the 24 fangs, whose functions were somewhat similar to those of the Five Cities of the Imperial Capital City, responsible for patrolling the streets and keeping vigil, cleaning the streets and ditches, and banning fires.

Later, the rights and responsibilities of the Fang Division are getting bigger and bigger, and the neighborhood conflicts, mediation disputes, issuing certificates, etc., are also responsible for the Fang Division, and at the same time, the Fang Division also has part of the functions of the post station, and all letters and packages will be sent to the corresponding Fang Division by the believers of the Daomen, and then the Fang Division will send someone to notify and collect it.

Qi Xuansu came to Fangsi, it was a two-entry courtyard, after passing the gatehouse, the first room was the place where the package was collected, divided into two rooms, there was a table and a chair outside, and a female crown was sitting behind the table, holding a novel with color illustrations, and she was fascinated by it, and she didn't notice Qi Xuansu coming in.

Qi Xuansu glanced at it, the illustrations in the book are a young man and a young lady, Yang Liu Yiyi, Xia Xi murmuring, I think it is a talented and beautiful woman.

Qi Xuansu waited for a while, and saw that the female crown had no intention of returning to her senses, so she had to reach out and tap on the table.

Only then did the female crown come back to her senses, and after raising her eyes and seeing Qi Xuansu, she hurriedly put the bookmark away, then closed the notebook in her hand and asked, "...... this fellow Daoist?"

Qi Xuansu opened his mouth and said, "Take things, Qi Xuansu." ”

"Wait a minute." The female crown got up and went to the inner room, and after a while, she brought a package the size of a jewelry box, wrapped in oiled paper, and sealed with fire paint.

The so-called fire paint is to bake and melt the lacquer rod solidified on a copper skewer on the fire first, paste the seal, and then stamp it with a seal to indicate that the recipient has opened it.

The female crown put the package on the table and said, "Please also ask the Taoist friends to show the basket to prevent fraudulent collars." ”

Qi Xuansu took out his urn and handed it to the female crown as he said, and after the female crown checked that it was correct, she handed the urn to Qi Xuansu along with the package.

Qi Xuansu thanked him and left Fang Si with the package.

The female crown didn't care about this little episode, and continued to sink into the world of the book.

After Qi Xuansu went home, he went straight to the study, first glanced at the name on the fire paint, only the word "Ah Qi", and couldn't help but laugh dumbly.

He thought about it before, and the only person who would mail a package to him was Qi Niang, and the word "Ah Qi" confirmed his guess.

It's just that the name "Ah Qi" is very girlish, which makes Qi Xuansu sigh that the years are unforgiving, and Ah Qi has finally become Qi Niang.

Qi Xuansu tore off the wrapped oil paper, and it was really a jewelry box with a small lock on it.

This lock has no key, is shaped like a horizontal cylinder, and is divided into four parts, each of which can be turned up and down, and has nine characters, for a total of thirty-six characters. You must guess all four words correctly to unlock the lock. If you miss three times, you will touch the mechanism of the box and destroy the contents of the box.

Qi Xuansu pondered for a moment, and with his understanding of Qi Niang, he turned out the words "heaven", "down", "Tai", and "Ping" in turn, which were the engraved words on the Taiping coin.

There was a soft sound, and the slightest movement meant that the first opportunity had been used.

Qi Xuansu was slightly surprised, and turned out the words "Cheng", "Ping", "None", and "Worry", which are the lettering of worry-free money.

Still not right.

Qi Xuansu was a little nervous, and after thinking for a long time, he slowly turned out the words "Ping", "An", "Ru", and "Yi", which are the lettering on the Ruyi money.

I only heard a "click" and the lock opened.

The lid of the box opened by itself, the box was divided into two layers, and a letter was placed on the first layer, and the envelope was written in block letters: "Tianyuan personally opened", and the payment was "Qi Niang".

Qi Xuansu picked up the envelope and found that the seal was not sealed with fire paint, so he directly took out more than ten pages of letterhead.

A good and beautiful Xiaokai is very reminiscent of a girl Ah Qi with eyes like autumn water and cold stars, not the murderous and money-lending Qi Niang.

Qi Niang mainly said three things in the letter, the first thing is the follow-up of Fengtai County, after Qi Niang reported the matter to the Qingping Society, the Qingping Association decided to turn Qi Xuansu into a regular member, from a peripheral member to a formal member, the name of the word brand is still "Jin Wrong Knife", the existing meritorious service is six hundred, using the pseudonym Wei Wugui.

The other two things are related to Qi Xuansu's conversion to normalization.

First of all, the treatment after the regularization, the "child and mother charm" has been changed from once a year to once a month, and there are ten yuan worry-free money, a blood dragon pill, and a purple yang pill every month, which will be officially issued from September.

Then Qi Xuansu also has the qualifications to participate in the second class assembly of the Qingping Society, according to Qi Niang's introduction, the Qingping Society is not such a strict hierarchy as the Daomen, there are only four levels of A, B, C, D, etc., D and so on are peripheral members, C-class formal members, B-class are elite members, and Class A is core members.

Now Qi Xuansu is the third class, but Qi Niang is the second class, Qi Xuansu is divided under the name of Qi Niang, and can participate in the second class assembly.

Until this time, Qi Xuansu knew that there were two kinds of members within the Qingping Society, one was an independent member who voluntarily joined the Qingping Society, and the other was a vassal member who was forced to join the Qingping Society for various reasons.

Independent members can only enjoy the treatment corresponding to their own rank, but they can make their own decisions. Qi Xuansu is a vassal member, subordinate to Qi Niang, the advantage is that you can enjoy part of Qi Niang's treatment, such as participating in the second class assembly, Qi Niang will also clean up the aftermath for him, and do not charge any fees, the disadvantage is that he has lost part of his autonomy, such as choosing errand tasks, that is, Qi Niang has full power.

Qi Xuansu has no objection to this, he has come over for so many years, and there is nothing bad about it.

As for how to participate in the assembly, you need to prepare a ritual spell, Qi Niang specially sent the materials needed for the spell, related usage and bill details, and the expenses should be deducted from Qi Xuansu's coffin book stored in Qi Niang, and now there is less than a hundred worry-free money left.

Qi Xuansu put down the letter and opened the second layer of the box.

The second layer is several times deeper than the first, and there are two candles, a box of incense sticks, a small vermilion gourd, a pile of blank rune paper, a box of cinnabar, a vermilion pen, and a fish talisman.

The fish talisman is Qi Xuansu's identity certificate, Qingping will be made by secret method, unique, according to different colors, divided into "jade white", "gold purple", "silver scarlet", "copper blue", Qi Xuansu's fish charm is silver crimson, engraved on the "golden knife" three words.

In addition to this, the fish talisman has two uses, one is used as a "key" to enter the assembly, and the other is used as a Sumeru object.

The so-called Sumeru can contain Sumeru in mustard seeds, take things out of thin air, and according to the quality, the size of the hidden universe is different. The contents of this silver scarlet talisman are extremely small, probably not much different from the jewelry box sent by Qi Niang, and can only be used to store the materials used in ritual spells.

As for how to enter the assembly, it is necessary to go through ritual spells.

Qi Xuansu waited patiently until midnight, and then began to prepare the spell according to the method given by Qi Niang in the letter.

First, pour out a cup of imitation candle dragon blood from the vermilion gourd. The candle dragon is the ancient mountain god, regarded as day, eyes for night, blowing for winter, calling for summer, its blood naturally has a very magical use. It's just that the candle dragon is no longer in the world, and its blood is nowhere to be found, and later Daomen developed an imitation candle dragon blood, although the effect is only one percent of the original, but the price is still extremely expensive, and it is equivalent to gold on the black market.

Qi Xuansu drew a picture of Pisces on the ground with imitation candle dragon blood, and then placed black and white candles at the two points of Pisces and lit them.

Both of these candles are not ordinary, the black candle is made of the blood lipids of the raccoon force, and the white candle is made of the blood lipids of Philip.

The tanuki look like a pig, with chicken feet on its feet, bark like a dog, and are good at escaping, and the ground is undulating wherever it passes.

Philip looked like a raccoon dog, had a mane and a white tail, and raising it was a relief for people.

Both are rare exotic beasts.

There is also incense, which is also good, and it is the famous "soul incense". Legend Kunlun fairyland there is a soul tree, the shape is like maple, cypress, flowers, leaves smell a hundred miles, pick its roots in the kettle to boil the juice, refining it like lacquer, it is the soul of the incense. The aroma smells hundreds of miles, the dead body is on the ground, and the smell is alive, so it is called "returning to the soul".

The "Soul Rejuvenation Incense" sent by Qi Niang to Qi Xuansu does not have such medicinal power, it can only warm the soul, but it is also extremely expensive, and a stick of incense will cost a worry-free money.

These three were extremely rare things hundreds of years ago, and they were priceless, but hundreds of years ago, there was a great change, and many of the originally extinct exotic beast medicinal materials reappeared in the world along with the Gu Immortals.

Daomen has implemented control over this, strictly speaking, these materials can only be produced by Daomen, but now they appear in the hands of the Qingping Society, Zhang Yuelu said that behind many secret associations there are Taoist bigwigs secretly supporting, and it is not false at all.

Qi Xuansu placed the fish talisman in the middle of the Pisces array diagram, and drew the talisman on the blank rune paper with a red pen dipped in cinnabar according to the pattern given by Qi Niang.

The Zhu pen is worth five worry-free money, the pen barrel is a green bamboo with stars and black spots, the tip of the pen is red and translucent, it is made of the tail of a weasel that has become a climate, used to draw symbols, and get twice the result with half the effort.

Qi Xuansu did it in one go, painting two pictures in a row.

Finally, Qi Xuansu took the incense burner, lit an incense stick, and burned the two drawn rune papers on the black and white candles.

After doing all this, Qi Xuansu closed his eyes and meditated, and after a while, he felt an irresistible tiredness hit him.

The candle was extinguished, and the blood on the ground faded, leaving only the smoke and the red dots of incense, flickering in the darkness.

Qi Xuansu maintained a posture of sitting cross-legged, his face was calm, his breathing was steady, and he fell into a deep sleep.
