I have a weird dynasty

Chapter 389 The Peddler's Support (asking for monthly tickets)
Sang Que took the demon-subduing pestle from the ghost peddler and asked, "Is it only useful for me? What about others?"

The ghost peddler said, "It's the same for everyone. As long as there is a body and a soul, the soul can be sealed in the body. This thing is used by Buddhist disciples to seal evil spirits. They usually let the evil spirits possess their bodies and use their bodies as shells. Buddhists believe that doing so can gain immeasurable merits. If the demon-subduing pestle is used to strike, there is still hope within seven days. After seven days, the body will turn into a stone shell with Buddhist scriptures."

"There is a Wanfoyuan in Tubo, where there are monks who have sealed evil spirits in their flesh. After they turn into stone shells, other monks will wrap them in cassocks and place them in Wanfoyuan. They will gather the power of all monks to convert the evil spirits. Let's not talk about this anymore. What else do you need?"

Sang Que sealed off the surroundings with the ghost domain, and said to the ghost peddler and Qiao Ling, "I snatched a paper-folding craftsman from the ghost troupe's martial artist, and he is only one step away from entering the fifth level. Also, Qu Tianhe, who was pretending to be a bell doctor in the ghost troupe, has cultivated a female jumping corpse in red, who is also in my hands, and she is only one step away from entering the flying corpse realm. I wonder if you have any way to let the paper-folding craftsman and the jumping corpse pass this hurdle now?"

The ghost peddler looked at Sang Que and couldn't help asking, "How many people in the ghost troupe did you kill?"

Without waiting for Sang Que to answer, the ghost peddler asked his five little ghosts to turn into black smoke and drill into the ground. They dragged out a big bag from somewhere. It was the same cloth bag that Sang Que saw last time, which was filled with three hundred blood-stained weapons and was not yet full.

The ghost peddler opened his pocket and put his head inside to search. While searching, he asked Qiao Ling, "I remember that the man pretending to be the bell doctor took something from the fish woman, which enabled the zombies to resurrect quickly, right?"

Qiao Ling nodded, "Yes, when the Evil Suppression Division captured Qu Tianhe, I used medicine to question him. He is indeed extremely talented in medicine, but it's a pity that he went astray."

The peddler took out half of it and then took out two more items.

One of them was a pair of rusty paper-cutting scissors, which were longer than ordinary scissors and had reddish-brown marks on the blade. Sang Que only took a look at the scissors and some bloody scenes of people being killed by the scissors flashed before his eyes.

"Let your paper-folding craftsman out."

Hearing this, Sang Que released the paper-folder. The ghost peddler stood up, walked up to the paper-folder in costume with a pair of scissors in hand, and after taking a look at him, suddenly inserted the scissors into the paper-folder's heart.

The paper-folding craftsman trembled all over, and a lot of paper scraps appeared under his feet. The paper scraps flew into the sky, bringing up a strong wind. As they flew in the air, the pure white paper scraps quickly turned red as if they were stained with blood.

The surrounding negative energy gathered here madly. Sang Que felt the paper-folding craftsman's struggle. Fortunately, her heart lamp was stable and strong, and she had already given the paper-folding craftsman the Mountain Ghost Seal, so she was not afraid of him showing any abnormality.

The aura of the paper-folding craftsman rose rapidly, and the scissors inserted in his chest gradually sank into his body until they disappeared.

The scraps of paper around him slowly fell down, the paper-folding craftsman calmed down, and the scissors appeared in his hands.

At this time, the paper-folding craftsman has become a fifth-level ghost, with an additional ability granted to him by a pair of scissors.

For ghosts, the paper craftsman can use scissors to cut off the parts of the ghost that are wrapped in paper scraps, just like dismembering it. However, unlike the dismemberment of the Yin child, it cannot dismember the Yin object, it can only be regarded as weakening, and it needs to be wrapped in paper scraps first.

For people, paper-folding craftsmen can use paper scraps to make a rubbing of the person's shadow, and then use scissors to cut the rubbing paper shadow, which can directly hurt the other person's body.

Scissors are a very powerful Yin object and fit in well with the paper-folding craftsman. With the help of the scissors, the paper-folding craftsman, who was only one step away from entering the fifth level, successfully entered the fifth level.

The ghost peddler stared at the paper-folding craftsman for a long time. As a peddler, he had the ability to appraise treasures and could tell what skills the paper-folding craftsman had.

The mountain ghost token in Sang Que's hand is genuine. As a man of Jiuge, the ghost peddler cannot let Sang Que be harmed by the earth ghost at all costs, otherwise Jiuge will be leaderless and will only become more and more chaotic.

The peddler did not dare to tell Qiao Ling that he had found traces of the assassin at the place where the storyteller disappeared, and suspected that the assassin had been instigated by Zuo Jinye and became Zuo Jinye's man. The storyteller was probably captured by the assassin and taken to Zuo Jinye.

The foundation of Empress Wu was destroyed and Jiuge fell apart, which was a sign of chaos in the world.

The ghost peddler handed a box made of a whole piece of Tokachi stone to Sangque, "Inside is a scale from a fish woman. Give it to your female jumping corpse. If everything goes well, she can advance. Return the box to me after you use it. I will help you catch a few more powerful ghosts and let your paper craftsman use them as paper figurines as substitutes."

After saying that, the ghost peddler packed his bag, picked up his load, and walked directly out of Sangque’s ghost realm.

Sang Que asked Qiao Ling to help her watch and enter the painting to find the red ghost.

Sangque was deeply impressed by the fish magpie, especially the threadlike worms that could penetrate into every pore of the fish magpie, which made her scalp tingle.

Sang Que walked up to Chigui and held up the box, with the opening facing Chigui's face. He opened the box without even looking at what was in it.

Originally there was just a piece of scale that looked a bit like a fish eye in the box. After it was opened and exposed to the air, the scale immediately seemed to come alive. The eyeball pattern on it moved, gradually dispersed, and turned into a thread-like worm again.

The originally motionless red ghost sensed the breath of the fish woman, and its head slowly turned towards the scales. It opened its mouth uncontrollably, and those filamentous worms extended upward and eventually all entered the red ghost's body.

Sangque waited for a while, but the red ghost seemed to have no changes.

There might not be enough time, so to be on the safe side, Sang Que locked the red ghost in a house in Taoyuan Village.

Xia Chan brought a lot of snacks and played in the pavilion on the mountain. Sang Que turned Xia Chan into a ball of hair, put it in a cross-body cloth bag, and took it out to give to Qiao Ling.

Qiao Ling was shocked by this and didn't know where Sang Que got the summer cicada from. However, dealing with the ground ghost was more important at the moment, so Qiao Ling didn't ask any more questions and put on the cloth bag containing the summer cicada.

Qiao Ling handed Sang Que a medicine bottle, looked at Sang Que, and sighed heavily, "Don't do such risky things again in the future."

Sang Que smiled, she really couldn't guarantee that.

The two waited outside the Five Spirits Altar until noon, when the ghost peddler returned exhausted. There are many ghosts in Yunzhou, but the more powerful ones basically have a large number of villagers as believers, and are difficult to catch.

The ghost peddler only caught two fourth-level ghosts and made them into paper substitutes for Sangque.

The sacrificial ceremony was scheduled for the Youshi hour at 5 p.m. At 3 p.m., Cheng Ge came out of the altar with two women wearing traditional Yunzhou costumes. Seeing Sang Que sitting quietly under the tree, Cheng Ge's heart was finally at ease. He was really afraid that after he had prepared everything, Sang Que would run away again.

Cheng Ge asked the two women to take Sang Que to the holy lake near the altar to bathe and change clothes, and put on Yunzhou people's clothes to show respect to the Five Spirit Gods.

During the sacrificial ceremony, Qiao Ling and the ghost peddler were not allowed to go in to watch the ceremony and had to wait outside.

Sang Que did all the instructions. The complicated preparation process lasted for more than an hour. It was not until 4:30 in the afternoon that Sang Que changed into a coarse cloth skirt with a black background and red patterns, similar to the Miao costume, and wore complicated silver jewelry. She entered the Five Spirits Altar under the guidance of the two women.
