SIAS Chapter 218.1

After eating, the group played by the river for a while before riding back to the village.

After Yi Qingqing returned to the educated youth point, she went to find Master Bai in the skill teaching mode.

Master Bai was still sitting under the locust tree with her eyes closed, resting her mind. On the incense table was a half-burned incense stick, and the paper figure maid was making tea for her.

“Master Bai! I have something to ask you!”

Yi Qingqing sat down in front of her familiarly.

Master Bai didn’t even raise her eyelids, and Yi Qingqing didn’t take it seriously. She directly stated the purpose of her visit.

“Master Bai, the Ghost Festival is just over half a month away. I want to use the paper products and incense sticks I made to pay tribute to my teachers on that day. However, I don’t know where they are buried. How can I offer my tribute so that they can receive it?”

After saying that, she also observed Master Bai carefully, wanting to see if she had any special reaction to her idea of ​​worshipping her teachers. After all, Master Bai is also one of her worship objects.

Her attire made her look like she belonged to the Republic of China era. The place where she taught was completely different from where she signed in, so she should have passed away.

Master Bai seemed completely oblivious to the fact that the teacher Yi Qingqing was offering sacrifices to have any connection to her.

She simply said, “If offering sacrifices to someone in a different place, you must clearly state the name and identity of the person being offered sacrifices, or simply write a petition on yellow paper.”

Master Bai waved her hand, and a piece of yellow paper and a brush appeared on the incense table.

She picked up the brush and wrote on it, saying, “The writing on the yellow paper must include the name and address of the person burning the paper, as well as the name of the deceased and their relationship to the person burning the paper. The signature must also include the words ‘Transferred from the Land of Fengdu City in the Underworld.’.”

Yi Qingqing understood it at a glance.

“Speaking of which, your paper-folding skills have been improving slowly recently. What you lack is Qi. You can’t just work in isolation.”

Master Bai suddenly remembered something and reminded her.

This stunned Yi Qingqing.

“What kind of Qi is missing? What does it mean to work in isolation?”

“You have excellent talent in paper-folding and incense-making, especially paper-folding. The most important ‘spirit’ is no longer something that limits you. What limits you is this Qi. If you don’t have enough Qi, your paper-folding can’t carry more spirits at all. That’s all you can do.”

“This paper-folding is made to be burned for the people below. It has great recognition and fame. With this Qi, your paper-folding can carry more spirit and reach the next level.”

“Generally speaking, people who learn paper-folding should at least burn and sell their objects for a little money. How come you don’t have any Qi at all? You must have been just doing it behind closed doors. Why don’t you learn from me, your master, and open a funeral shop? It would save you a lot of trouble.”

Master Bai said.

“…”

Yi Qingqing held her forehead.

“Why didn’t you tell me such an important thing earlier?”

When she was reviewing her skill progress yesterday, she comforted herself that this skill had reached Level 3. It was just that difficult, so it was normal for the progress to be so slow. She needed to work harder and hone it slowly.

Thinking about it now, wasn’t she a bit stupid?

“Who would have thought that you would never use the paper-folding skills you learned?” Master Bai expressed her incomprehension.

“…”

Yi Qingqing sighed. She had told Master Bai about the current situation before, but she had no memory of anything other than learning these skills.

“What about my incense-making skills? Is there a similar need?”

She was a little worried. After all, incense-making is also a half-sacrifice-related skill. The first kind of incense she learned was for worship.
