Chapter 8 Five Emperors Incense Talisman Money

The thing that the silver-gray fox was holding in his hand fell, and Yu Xiu stared over and found that it was the jade cicada that spit out of the fox's mouth.

The cicada rolled on the ground a few times, then stopped moving, dead like a fox.

Yu Xiu looked at the jade cicada, his brows furrowed slightly. This jade must have been stolen from the graves and the mouths of dead corpses, and it was hidden in the mouth of a fox, so filthy that no scholar would touch such a thing.

"Huh......" Yu Xiu was about to look away when he suddenly caught a glimpse of a warm luster on the jade cicada, which was very attractive. Slightly moved, he wrapped the jade cicada in his sleeve and picked it up.

In his hand, Yu Xiu found that the jade cicada was really extraordinary, its jade quality was clean and warm, like a good mutton fat nephrite, but it was not like it, there was a dark red strange flower inside, if it was sold to an antique dealer, it might be able to sell it for a good price.

After a little pondering, Yu Xiu put the jade cicada into the money bag.

The origin of this jade is treacherous, and it is secretly hidden in the belly of the fox demon.

Let's put it away first. Even if it is not very secret, it is just an ordinary piece of jade, which should be able to sell for a good price, and it must not be easily missed.

After putting away the jade cicada, Yu Xiu looked at the fox nailed to the statue of Arhat, and said in his heart: "This fox is covered in silver-gray fur, like silk, if you peel off the skin, it is worth a lot of money." ”

Unfortunately, the fox was pierced by him, and his fur had holes, which greatly reduced its value. But even if the fur was not broken, Yu Xiu didn't dare to really peel off the other party's skin and sell it in the market.

Once this beast is still young and recognized, then he will be in trouble. And the monster is treacherous, and there may be bad things attached to the fur.

Yu Xiu thought for a few moments, and after repeatedly confirming the life and death of the fox, he pulled out his long sword and smashed all the Arhat statues into firewood.

After relighting the fire, he burned it so vigorously that the flames were so red that the surroundings of the Buddha Hall were red, and his face was hot.

Yu Xiu saw that the fire was almost over, picked up the fox's corpse with his long sword, and threw it into the fire.

This life is grotesque and treacherous, although the monster has been stabbed to death by Yu Xiu, there is still the possibility of corpse transformation. In order to prevent the other party from asking for his life, it is better to burn it clean.

The flames swirled and the firewood exploded, and the fox's corpse instantly turned black and turned into charcoal, shattering piece by piece.

In the meantime, it only took about a dozen breaths.

"Sure enough, it's a monster, and the corpse burns so fast. Yu Xiu remembered many stories recorded in the novels.

However, since the fox's corpse had turned to ashes, there was nothing to worry about, and his mind was completely settled.

At this time, he suddenly relaxed, and Yu Xiu suddenly felt that his legs and feet were weak, and he stumbled and almost fell to the ground.

However, in just one night, he first escaped from the hands of the Wumei Taoist priest, obtained the "Book of Dao", and successfully cultivated the Yin God and killed a demon with bad intentions.

All kinds of things, twists and turns, in retrospect, made Yu Xiu quite in a trance. Fortunately, he was considered to have come out of the experience, took a few deep breaths, and barely calmed down.

Yu Xiu looked at the fire, and the burning flames were reflected in his eyes: "After all my efforts, I have finally been able to enter the path and cultivate the Yin God!"

He remembered the feeling he felt when he escaped from the Yin God, and although it was painful, it was extremely strange and reluctant. And according to the records in the Taoist book, when the kung fu is profound, the yin god can walk directly between heaven and earth without the protection of incense.

If it is deeper, the Taoist priest can escape from the yin god and travel by night and day, for ten miles or even thousands of miles, like a god, and all kinds of other mysterious means are also uninvited...... Even take away immortality!

For a while, the flame in Yu Xiu's eyes burned more and more. He settled down and said secretly: "The next thing is to hurry up and practice, so that the Yin God can step into the realm of night travel." ”

Night travelers, the yin god of the Taoist priest can exist without the existence of incense, no longer have the feeling of cold and heat, and at the same time are not afraid of wind and rain, and can walk under the moonlight, which is no different from ordinary people.

Moreover, the soul of the Taoist priest will be developed, and he will have the ability to hear and reiterate, and his memory will be greatly increased, which is supernatural.

Yu Xiu thought about the supernatural nature of the night tour realm, and almost immediately wanted to start cultivating, so that he could step into the night tour realm as soon as possible, and the yin god roamed all directions.

However, as soon as he remembered what had happened to him in his previous practice, he had to hold back his thoughts. "It's not good to have another monster in the wilderness here. ”

Yu Xiu thought of this, and didn't even dare to sleep for a while, lest there was a monster peeping at him outside the Buddhist hall, and he would take off his head after he fell asleep.

He calmed down, realized that this was a possibility, and clenched his sword, turned his back to the fire, and kept vigil with half-squinted eyes.

It was dark outside the hall, even if Yu Xiu had cultivated the Yin God and his eyesight had greatly increased, he could only see a dozen steps away. Farther away, there was complete darkness in his eyes.

Fortunately, after only half an hour, the darkness outside the Buddha hall suddenly began to decrease, and the light was dim and intertwined, and it should be sunrise.

Yu Xiu breathed a sigh of relief, there were few demonic things after sunrise, and he should be safe. Yu Xiu groaned a few times, held the long sword, climbed the broken threshold, and looked into the distance.

I saw a line of red sun suddenly jump out from the horizon in the distance, rumbling through the clouds, and the red light slapped into the darkness. There are a few strange trees with withered yellow trees planted in front of the temple, shining in the light, like a rickety old monk.

Yu Xiu saw the daylight and felt slightly relieved: "It's sunrise, it's time to leave here." He walked back into the hall and began to gather his things.

Yu Xiu checked the fire and found that the fox's corpse was really burned to the point that there was no residue left, and it was completely mixed in the ashes. Just as he was about to leave, Yu Xiu paused and walked to the small pile of cigarettes he had made during his cultivation.

Yu Xiu kicked off the charcoal, revealing the coins underneath, and sighed softly, "Huh......"

Black money, also known as iron money, is stacked on the ground, and the surface is already rusty, as if it has been buried in the ground for decades. Yu Xiu squatted down and tried to pick up the iron coin, but found that all he had picked up was a lump of rust.

In just one night's work, a single iron coin turned into rust.

Yu Xiu remembered the feeling that when he escaped from the Yin God, the Yin God put on a layer of clothes, and said secretly: "The one who protected the Yin God before should be the incense in the iron money." ”

"Now that the incense has burned out, the iron money has completely rusted?"

Yu Xiu suddenly thought that the coins of this world are also called Fu Qian in the mouth of Taoist priests, and because of the material and color, they are divided into five grades from bottom to top: black money, yellow money, white money, red money, and green money.

All are in the decimal system. One yellow coin is worth 100 black coins, and one green coin is worth 100 red coins.

The Book of Taoism records that the Taoist priests of the former dynasty formulated five coins, which were originally intended to restrain the incense and the goods of the world, so the five kinds of coins have their own names, namely: the Black Emperor Iron Charm Money, the Yellow Emperor Copper Charm Money, the White Emperor Silver Charm Money, the Red Emperor Gold Charm Money, and the Green Emperor Jade Charm Money, collectively known as the "Five Emperor Incense Charm Money".

Among them, black money is made of iron, which is the most easy to rust, and the world is proud to say that this is the second time black money, and it is easy to be stolen by imps for the sake of incense.

Yu Xiu remembered a few stories in the miscellaneous books again, frowning and thinking. His eyelids flickered, he looked at the ashes of the fire, and a thought came to his mind: "Didn't this fox be attracted by myself?"

Yu Xiu's eyes were strange. Burning talisman money in a mass grave, and having no Dharma protector, who knows if he is practicing or deliberately attracting monsters......

"A certain butcher of meat returns home, encountering ghosts blocking the way, the meat does not move, and the knife is not afraid...... And the money landed, and the ghost opened its way. ”

"When you are born by a ghost, your companions die, but you can live by spilling money. ”

"A certain Taoist priest does not grind with a donkey, but grinds with a ghost. Put three coins on the mill every day, and the grinding will not stop day and night. ”
