Chapter 9: Sacrificing the Paper Man

"Suddenly bought so much rune paper, do you want to learn how to make talismans?"

In front of the counter of the T-shaped No. 18 store, Gong Lao looked at Su Ming and asked with a smile.

Su Ming smiled and nodded, "Well, I want to see if I have any talent in this area." ”

While the two were talking, a petite figure trotted down from the second floor holding a large roll of rune paper.

Gong Xiaocai was holding a large number of rune papers in her arms, and the rune papers in her arms were stacked higher than the others.

Looking at this rather funny scene, Su Ming stepped forward quickly and helped her straighten the crumbling rune paper.

"It's okay, it's okay,"

Gong Xiaocai was quite stubborn, "I can do it myself." ”

Su Ming straightened the talisman paper in her arms and retreated.

"Bang!"

Eventually, the large roll of rune paper almost smashed onto the counter, and the dust scattered in the sunlight.

On the side, Gong Lao saw Gong Xiaocai's embarrassed appearance, and said with a smile: "How is it, is this rune paper business good?" ”

Hearing this, Gong Xiaocai patted the dust on her body and said unconvinced: "That's grandpa, you played tricks and took away my storage bag." ”

"The price of a first-order lower-grade storage bag is two spirit stones, and you haven't even earned one-tenth of the storage bag since yesterday."

Gong Lao stretched out two fingers and said with a smile.

Hearing this, Gong Xiaocai turned her head and stopped talking angrily.

Seeing this scene, Su Ming couldn't help but purse his lips and smile.

Gong Lao also pursed his lips and couldn't help laughing.

Gong Xiaocai saw that the two of them were making fun of her, and she was even more angry, first glared at Gong Lao, and then glared at Su Ming, crossed her waist and said, "Is the spirit fruit delicious?" ”

Su Ming couldn't hold back any longer, smiled and gave a thumbs up: "It's so sweet." ”

"Haha."

Gong Lao smiled and stroked his beard.

Gong Xiaocai was red by the laughter of the two, and immediately ran upstairs.

Gong Lao shook his head with a smile and said, "Shesun is stubborn, and he doesn't think about cultivation all day long, so Xiao Su makes you laugh." ”

"Xiaocai is still small now, it would be good to wait for her to be older."

Gong Lao shook his head when he heard this: "I'm afraid it will get worse." ”

"Where, it was the same when I was a child, when my father scolded me......"

Speaking of Father Su, Su Ming's voice lowered, and finally fell silent.

Gong Lao saw that Su Ming's mood was not high, he picked up the rune paper on the counter and handed it over, and said: "The cutting of rune paper is also a science, although I don't know why you want to buy this kind of uncut rune paper, but you must be careful when cutting, once it is not cut properly, the whole rune paper will be completely wasted." ”

Su Ming took the rune paper, put it into the storage bag, paid for 2 spirit stones, and said, "Thank you for the reminder." ”

With that, he left the store.

Just as he was about to step out of the store, a voice sounded in Su Ming's mind.

"If it's possible in the future, don't run the Lingmi business anymore, and learning talisman making is also a good way out."

Divine consciousness transmission, it is Gong Lao!

Su Ming turned his head suddenly, only to find that Gong Lao was sorting out the shelves with his back to him.

Su Ming arched his hand at him, and then walked out of the store.

Sensing Su Ming leaving, Gong Lao turned around, looked at the empty store door, and sighed: "Loose cultivation, scattered cultivation......"

......

Back to the store.

Su Ming's mood was heavy.

For the first time in two years, he was so close to the truth of Su's father's death.

In the past, Su Ming always thought that Su's father died because of the lease right of the T-19 shop, but now it seems that things are not so simple.

Stop running the Lingmi business!

Gong Lao's words kept echoing in his ears.

Originally, Su's father was running the Lingmi business, and so was Yang Laoliu.

Could it be that the murderer didn't come for the lease of the shop in Shimizufang City, but for the Lingmi business?

Su Ming immediately thought of the largest Lingmi shop in Xifang District, Zhang's Lingmi Shop.

The Zhang family is not only the largest Lingmi seller in Qingshuifang City, but also the largest Lingmi supplier in the entire Shangyang County.

The Zhang family has a large number of spiritual fields in their hands, and there are countless tenants who are scattered and cultivated.

Don't...... Is it really the Zhang family?

Thinking of this behemoth, Su Ming's heart suddenly felt like he was pressing a heavy boulder.

The Zhang family wanted to monopolize the Lingmi business in Qingshuifang City, so they didn't consider the attitude of the Moyun Master?

Immediately, Su Ming smiled self-deprecatingly again.

How cultivated the Venerable Mo Yun is, how could he manage a small Zhang family and a trivial Lingmi business.

No matter how hot the Lingmi business is, it is just to make some hard-earned money.

Where are the business of talisman making, alchemy, refining and so on.

Besides, the spirit rice was mostly eaten by Qi cultivation period cultivators, and it would not affect the interests of the people of Moyun at all.

Take 10,000 steps back, even if the Zhang family monopolizes the Lingmi business, they are not doing business in Qingshuifang City, as long as the Zhang family does not open another Fang market outside Qingshuifang City, the Master Moyun will not care about this.

Finally, the Zhang family acted very carefully.

Su's father died two years ago, and Yang Lao Liu also died two days ago.

Su Ming didn't know if there were any other people who ran the Lingmi business who died unexpectedly in the past two years, but the Zhang family obviously didn't kill too many people at once, causing everyone in Qingshuifang City to be in danger.

Su Ming has been busy studying refining all day in the past two years, and he still pays too little attention to the news in this regard.

Strength!

In the end, it's still strength.

If he was a foundation building monk, even if the Zhang family wanted to monopolize the spiritual rice sales channel in Qingshuifang City, they would not dare to attack him Su Ming's idea.

Thinking of this, Su Ming clenched his fists fiercely.

Originally, he was still a little shaken in his heart about the sacrificial paper puppet, but thinking of the Zhang family, the hidden enemy in the shadows, Su Ming instantly strengthened his determination to practice this technique.

In this cruel world, without strength, you can only be slaughtered by others.

......

Go back to the second floor.

Su Ming took out a large amount of rune paper from the storage bag.

Open the yellowed ancient book again, and carefully examine the process of sacrificing paper figures.

Compared with the knowledge of refining weapons, sacrificing paper people is undoubtedly much simpler.

If refining tools is high school knowledge, then the paper puppet is undoubtedly at the elementary school level.

Su Ming, a newly promoted first-order refiner, only spent one night figuring out all the sacrificial refining processes.

The first step in refining a paper puppet is to make a paper puppet, which is also known as the legendary paper puppet.

Su Ming step by step, first starting from the skeleton of the paper figure, tying the skeleton, and then pasting the paste made of special materials, the last step is to paste the rune paper on the skeleton of the paper figure.

Su Ming has the background of a refiner, and the paper puppet he made is many times more refined than the old man who gave him the paper puppet.

Thinking of the exaggerated face of the mysterious old man's paper puppet, Su Ming couldn't help but shudder.

Three hours later.

Seeing the delicate, lifelike paper figure in front of him, Su Ming couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Fortunately, I bought enough rune paper, otherwise it wouldn't be enough to mush its entire body."

Looking at the tied paper figure, for some reason, he always felt a cold feeling.

Su Ming had read relevant knowledge in his previous life, and the scientific explanation for this is called the uncanny valley effect.

"Next, it's time for the sacrifice."

Su Ming took a deep breath and looked solemn.
