Gold has great purchasing power no matter which dynasty it is in.
As the saying goes, antiques in prosperous times and gold in troubled times are just like this.
From ancient times to the present, this kind of thing has been pursued by the world, and few people can refuse the charm of gold.
And in the world of mysterious resurrection, it has the function of restricting and imprisoning evil ghosts, and even can isolate evil ghosts.
This has also led to a substantial increase in the price of gold, and it has even become a strategic resource at a control level that cannot be bought even if you have money.
Although the small piece of gold that Su Yuan took out was not much, it would not be a problem to sell it for at least tens of thousands of yuan.
If there are no coins from the Republic of China period, gold can be used as a substitute. The value of gold will never become obsolete, right?
Just when Su Yuan was thinking this, who would have thought that when the boatman looked at the gold in his hand, his face turned dark and he said in a bad tone:
"Young man, I see that you are young and look like a scholar, but you are so unethical. If you use a stone to fool this old man, won't your conscience hurt?"
Stone?
Hearing this, Su Yuan frowned.
Is this boatman deliberately looking for trouble? What he took out was obviously real gold and silver, but he actually said it was a stone?
Isn't this deliberately causing trouble for yourself?
Thinking of this, Su Yuan's face turned cold. Just when he was about to say something, he suddenly realized that the boatman's expression didn't look like he was being fake, but that he looked really angry.
Suddenly, Su Yuan's expression changed slightly.
Maybe the boatman didn't lie?
To ordinary people, gold is indeed expensive and valuable, but to ghosts or others, there is not much difference between gold and stone.
With a thought in his heart, Su Yuan took out something else.
A piece of colorful paper money.
This is ghost money, also called life-buying money.
The use of this thing is very special, and it is also extremely rare. Currently, there are not many left. Generally speaking, banknotes are divided into three denominations: three yuan, four yuan, and seven yuan.
The larger the denomination, the rarer it is.
The seven-yuan note is the largest denomination. Although Su Yuan had one in his hand, there was only one. What he took out at this moment was a three-yuan note.
Although it was the lowest denomination, as soon as the money was taken out, a smile appeared on the boatman's face, and the smile bloomed, like a blooming autumn chrysanthemum.
"Okay, okay, I know you are a cultured young man. I like your culture. I look like you are the pillar of the country. Come on, come on, come on board."
This attitude changes faster than flipping through a book. One second he looked as bad as a stone in a latrine, and the next second he became a literate intellectual and a pillar of the country.
Is it true that money can make people go around?
Su Yuan looked at the boatman coldly and went straight onto the boat without saying anything.
Gold doesn’t require ghost money, so how could this boatman be a normal person?
After Su Yuan got on the boat, the old black awning boat began to ripple slowly and headed towards the center of the lake. The boatman held the oar and drifted along with the current.
But the people on the boat did not feel any shaking, and it was very stable.
And as the awning boat left the shore, Su Yuan found that the river was surrounded by thick fog, and there were inexplicable outlines looming on the water, and the things around him gradually began to look strange.
Even after driving for a while, the river began to become wider, exceeding the width seen before.
This change did not happen suddenly, but happened slowly as the boat wandered.
Only ten minutes.
Su Yuan found himself on a strange and strange river, seemingly separated from the original lake.
I don’t know if it’s because there’s no light, or if it’s just something special here.
The water surface was pitch black, and it was impossible to see what was under the water. Only the oil lamp on the bow of the boat was flickering, adding a little faint light to the originally dark river surface.
With curiosity in his heart, Su Yuan stretched out his hand and gently crossed the river.
When he took his fingers back, he found that his fingers were not wet at all, and there were no water stains at all. He only felt an extraordinarily cold feeling.
It was as if a mass of solid cold air had passed through it.
"It's not river water."
Su Yuan was slightly surprised: "Is it an unknown supernatural phenomenon?"
"Boatman, here..."
As if he thought of something, when Su Yuan opened his mouth to ask some questions, he suddenly realized something was wrong.
Because it's too quiet.
When I first got on the boat, there was still the sound of the oars stirring the lake water, but now, it was completely silent and no sound could be heard.
The whole boat was dead silent.
Su Yuan looked back and saw that at some point, the boatman had disappeared. Apart from him, there was only a yellow oil lamp lighting up the surroundings.
But the strange thing is that without anyone controlling it, the whole boat is still moving at an unhurried speed. It seems to be moving in one direction with purpose.
Su Yuan did not panic about this unknown phenomenon. Although the disappearance of the boatman was very strange, there were even weirder things among supernatural events. So far, there have been no too unexpected changes, so just wait and see.
Change it and see what comes out later.
However, it was a calm journey along the way, with neither waves nor wind or rain. I don’t know if it was the life-buying money that had the effect or because of some other reason.
Except for Su Yuan on the boat, the dim oil lamp became the only light, separating the boat from the fog, as if they had become two worlds.
I don’t know how long it took before Su Yuan discovered the clue.
now.
The boat changed its direction, no longer drifting, but gradually moved closer to the shore.
The lights on the bow flickered and the mist dispersed.
There is actually a ferry on the shore.
The ferry was made of wood and was very dilapidated. On the other end of the ferry was a small road that extended to the end of darkness. It was impossible to know what was on the other side.
But as the ship gradually docked, Su Yuan saw an abandoned village at the end of his sight, and there seemed to be several old graves on the path leading to the village.
This ferry seems to be prepared for villages.
"We're here, young man. Zhuangzi is ahead of us. It's dark and the path is difficult to walk. Be careful and don't fall."
Suddenly, the boatman's voice sounded again behind him. Su Yuan turned around suddenly, only to find that the boatman who had just disappeared had appeared at the bow of the boat again, holding the oar with one hand and speaking to him with a concerned look on his face.
A cold look appeared on Su Yuan's face, but in the end he did not do anything else.
Now that we have arrived safely and safely, there is no need to create any extra complications.
