Old Fogey Goes Down The Mountain

Chapter 44: Gold adjustment

Views:

His own interns were fighting with the local ghosts. Of course, Wei Xi, as the head of the house, couldn't just sit idly by. The old man with the goatee in his hands was about to get up to help, when someone grabbed his shoulders.

There was a hint of anger in the second disciple's voice: "Why didn't you run away just now?"

Wei Xi reacted for a while before realizing what he was saying: "I'll be hit if I dodge your brother."

He thought that the apprentice was just asking a random question, but after answering, the other party's eyes became even more burning, with a compelling temperature, and a little unbelievable: "You... protect him?"

Even if Wei Xi's temperament has changed drastically now, it's hard to believe that he will be associated with the concept of "protecting others".

"That's natural." Wei Xi didn't realize it, and threw sugar-coated cannonballs very naturally, "Not only your brother, but also the master to protect you, you are also my baby."

On second thought, Tuanjie used to say that he was partial to his junior and junior brothers. Wouldn't the second apprentice be jealous if he asked this? The head of Wei, who was determined to be a good teacher, hurriedly spoke to comfort and care: "I heard you kicked that thing quite a bit just now. Did you hurt? Did the kick hurt? Let me take a look at the teacher."

As he spoke, he sincerely stretched out his hand to lift his apprentice's trouser legs, but when the words fell, he was grabbed by the shoulders.

Looking up, Tu'er's expression seemed to be confused and a little helpless. After looking at him deeply for a while, he silently pulled him up from the ground and changed the subject: "... The soul here has no obsession, no need for Exceed."

There is a difference between a ghost and a ghost, and there is a difference between death and non-death.

A sudden death is an abnormal death. For example, these new interns from the Taicang Sect, who are obsessed and unrestrained, will linger in the world. The souls that are not dying are different. When their lifespan expires, or they get sick or die of old age, after death, there will be ghosts who will come to ecstasy according to the ecstasy table, and take them to the next reincarnation.

The group of old ghosts in front of them is the latter, so the supernatural means of ordinary Taoism are of no use to them at all.

Wei Xi, who had a bad mind, immediately let go of his hand holding his apprentice's trouser legs, and was distracted: "So, the rumor that this place used to be a mass grave is true, no wonder Bo Hao and the others invited the burial mound. The two door gods are useless, the door gods are the gatekeepers, staring at all the ghosts and ghosts outside, how can they control the guests inside the gate."

Shuozong nodded, and Wei Xi mentioned a problem that was a headache for people in Xuanmen. Some people want to go to Taoist temples after they settle down and buy properties, and they want to go to Taoist temples and ask gods and spells to keep their homes “clean and clean.” But the land is so big. If you look around, those brightly lit business districts have more or less bones buried in the ground. Even if these corpses are still alive, they are fundamentally different from guest ghosts. Guest ghosts are inexplicably looking for trouble in your home. They belong to the shameless type of robbery and stealing. No matter how cruel the solution is, they are famous. Soul Feifei San has nothing to say. But those souls that were there in the first place have lived in them for longer than people. If you go back hundreds or thousands of years, this piece of land may still be the private property of others. You, a later resident, moved in. The family doesn't count, and you still want to kick people out of the house for no reason. Is it quite unreasonable to hear this? The gods who invite you home are not willing to interfere with such excessive things.

Therefore, as long as there is no real trouble, most people in Xuanmen will choose to turn a blind eye and comfort the believers when they encounter such a request. Everyone is a ghost, so what do you do with the sword drawn? People don't have any ill will towards you. Can't you live under the same roof and live in peace with each other? If you meet a good-natured old tenant, maybe you will occasionally help the new tenant.

A few years ago, there was a very popular post on a local forum in Beijing. The woman in the post said that she lived alone. She went out for a few days. was washed. She called the relatives she knew, and they all said that they had never come to help her. She couldn't figure it out, and she felt amazing. The netizens in the comments scolded her for making things up. Obviously, the old resident under the eaves disliked the girl's sloppyness, so he started to clean the room. The ghosts were originally unable to touch the living body, and he did not know what the old resident was forced to be like.

This historical problem has also spawned many folk traditions. For example, for a project that needs to be excavated, such as digging a mountain to build a road and building a building, there will always be certain ceremonies before construction, the practice of opening an altar, and offering some incense candles to appease The undead who are about to be disturbed in the long sleep underground.

Normal undead are generally very reasonable. It is not easy for everyone, and there is no grievance and no enmity. Seeing that your sincerity is enough, you will take a step back and not care about it.

Those who come out to do things like the aborigines of the Gangyue Building are definitely a minority among the few.

Shuozong frowned, not knowing for a moment what these old, weak, sick and disabled people wanted to do.

***

The melee over there finally came to an end. Although the Taicang sect did not have an advantage in the number of ghosts, it was still young. Most of the ghosts were terrifying in appearance, and ordinary ghosts were also afraid when they saw it, and finally won a big victory.

The old residents didn't win the fight, but they were still very unconvinced. The old man who played Tai Chi said angrily, "There's no reason for you to break into my house for no reason, and you're doing bad things, it's just harming the world!"

The Taicang sect interns didn't lose their temper: "Is it reasonable for you to steal my tribute in the dormitory? And hurt Tianhe, you are more guilty of causing people to jump off the building!"

The old man was furious: "The old man said it! He stumbled and fell by himself!"

Kuang Zhiming and his wife were already stunned. They sat cross-legged outside the battle, and they were speechless when they watched the two ghosts fighting each other. Thinking of the truth about Xiao Ke's fall from the building, they felt like they were talking about the old ghost. It's time to get up and say goodbye.

Fortunately, the second disciple of Taicang Sect came over at this time, his face was frighteningly cold: "Since you have no intention of hurting others, why did you throw your helmet from upstairs just now?"

Kuang Zhiming and his wife immediately recovered, thinking of the accident just now, and their faces became solemn.

The old ghost snorted and didn't speak, obviously he couldn't ask anything, and just as Kuang Zhiming wanted to understand it, he saw Wei Xi stand up viciously: "I don't care why he lost it, but it still scared you and your senior brother. , I'll pull his head off to vent your anger!"

Wei Xi said that he was about to start, and the old ghost was stunned: "Why are you Taoists so unreasonable!"

Kuang Zhiming: "..."

The old ghost knows that he can't beat Wei Xi, so he can only justify himself angrily: "Who wants to hurt your apprentice! I'm going to hit that kid!"

He stared at Bo Hao with his eyes wide open. Although Bo Hao couldn't hold back at the moment, he instinctively froze all over and shivered.

Tuanyiyi was also stunned when he heard it: "Why?"

The old ghost said: "If you don't stun him, why don't you tell him to go back and bring someone over to continue the construction! He thinks beautifully!"

The meaning of the words is obviously to let the real estate continue to be unfinished. This is very confusing. The capital is so big, and there are a lot of cemeteries left. Later, the urban area was expanded, and there was no school or community on the original site. For a few, it was the first time they encountered aboriginal people who had such a big opinion about this, and they actually delayed the construction period of a shopping mall for nearly ten years.

Shuozong narrowed his eyes: "It's just a place to bury bones, you will be reincarnated sooner or later."

The old ghost stared at Bo Hao coldly: "I won't build a house for them if I vote!"

His stubborn appearance really doesn't look like a ghost who is dying. Generally, except for those who died unexpectedly, which ghost would have such a big obsession

Kuang Zhiming was extremely embarrassed, people had been buried here for many years, and the seniority was justifiable. deadlock.

Unity feels wrong, why does the old man sound like there is a feud between the two sides

He immediately whispered a few words to Master's ear, and after seeing Wei Xi reluctantly nod his head, he smiled and said, "Oh, why are you all so stiff? If you have something to say, sit down and talk, old man, about the helmet. We will not pursue it, but please understand that it is not easy for Mr. Bo's company to apply for such a large project, right. If such a large piece of land is not used, it will definitely lose everything, why do you deliberately embarrass one? Young people? Is there something in their company that makes you dissatisfied?"

The old ghost didn't buy his face, and still snorted.

Wei Xi frowned and said, "Why talk nonsense with him, I pulled his head out for you to play with."

"..." The old ghost glared at him humiliatingly, and finally spoke up. He glanced at Bo Hao coldly, and gestured for unity and righteousness, "Ask him yourself."

Bo Hao: "???"

Bo Hao finally regained his senses, but was accused of being very confused: "I... What happened to me? Our company didn't do anything?"

The old ghost was very angry: "You don't follow the rules, you don't respect the elders first, and you dare to quibble!"

Bo Hao was wronged to death: "Rules?? What rules? God, how can I disrespect you?!"

Kuang Zhiming thought about it for a while, and finally remembered something: "Old ... Mr. is referring to the ceremony that should be given to you before the foundation is laid?"

The old ghost looked like he was being told the main thing: "Humph!"

Bo Hao was even more wronged: "Impossible, I remember that there was a ceremony before the foundation was laid. Isn't the worship of pig's head, chicken and incense? It's the same in the industry! We have explained to the construction company."

The old ghost got even more angry when he heard this. He looked like he was arguing. Seeing that the two sides were at a stalemate, he simply asked for foreign aid and searched the Internet for news of the construction of the Hong Kong-Vietnam Building.

The construction site has been unfinished for so long, and the foundation laying is old news many years ago. Fortunately, there is still a record on the browser's portal website. When I clicked on it, the reporter took a photo of the construction contractor's ceremony that day. After clearing the things on the table, there was a sudden silence.

Shuo Zong was thinking about it, when he saw his senior brother approached with a face full of words, and handed the phone to him to take a look.

His eyes fell, and almost instantly he saw the group of confused blond foreigners kneeling in front of the offering table at the construction site in the photo, as well as the offering table... a few first-generation tablet computers that had long since been eliminated.

Shuozong: "..."

Bo Hao was speechless when he saw it, and was so shocked that he even stood up: "Damn it! Are foreigners so unreliable? They told them to offer pig's head roast chicken, but they actually used an iPad?!"

For a while, I just felt dizzy, and I was even more wronged than Dou E. The construction site of my company could not be completed in seven or eight years. The fuck wouldn't be because the real pig head was not offered when the foundation was laid...

What is this called!

Bo Hao wanted to cry, a bloody case caused by a pig's head, the money that the company lost in this unfinished building over the years is probably enough to buy the pig's head in the whole country.

"It's not about a pig's head!" The old man said, "It's a matter of respect! Since they have no respect for me, why should the old man let them dig graves!"

Everyone present except Wei Xi, including Shuozong felt quite speechless. He calmly turned his eyes away, not knowing why he was still here.

It was Uncle Shen who understood the minds of ghosts better, understood what they were struggling with, and floated over to help and persuade him: "Oh, old man, foreign builders don't understand the rules of our country, I don't think the developers really mean that, you Don't worry about it, just sit down and have a good talk if there is a conflict, and let them make up for the ceremony?"

Although there was a fight just now, both sides were ghosts, the old man seemed to be moved when he heard Uncle Shen's persuasion, but he was still unwilling to express his position.

Wei Xi was annoyed to see him like this, and his face turned cold: "Wait until I get his head off-"

The second apprentice raised his hand to rest on his shoulder, and interrupted lightly: "Unity, call the elders of Qiu Guokai."

Tuanjie was stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted: "So they are also waiting in line to be reborn and temporarily live in the world? Mr. Qiu's mother seems to have said that during the temporary residence, you can file a complaint for breaking the law..."

I rely on!

The old man was shocked, what happened to this group of people, even know this rule? !

He was afraid that the complaint would affect the next child, so he didn't dare to twist, so he finally gave Bo Hao a reluctant look and said to Uncle Shen, "Let him come over and talk to me in detail."

Bo Hao's foot is deep and his foot is shallow. I don't know what year it is today. He thought to himself, he is very promising, and he can still negotiate with ghosts in this life...

When the aboriginal ghosts in the unfinished building heard that they wanted to negotiate, they rushed over in a swarm. Uncle Shen turned into a middleman, and the tense atmosphere of the scene immediately became much more formal. At this moment, it seems that my brain is not enough, and occasionally I help to reject the requests of some aboriginal ghost lions to open their mouths.

Unity was very relieved to see it, and couldn't help but sighed towards Weixi: "The soldiers are not bloody, Master. Our company can almost open a separate column called "Gold Medal Mediation"."

His own sect solved such a big trouble for Bo Hao, and it would definitely be appropriate to talk to him about the intern dormitory in the future.

Kuang Zhiming and his wife: "..."

The man and the ghost finally negotiated the terms and shook hands to make peace, but Bo Hao was already broken. When he was brought back to the crowd, his expression seemed to be mentally retarded.

He had been dementia for a long time, and after thinking about it, he still called the project team colleagues in the hospital and asked them about Xiao Ke's situation.

Colleagues told him that Xiao Ke was still in a coma, the cause of the coma was uncertain, and the doctor did not know when he would wake up. The aboriginal ghosts who entered the peace agreement were finally a little embarrassed when they found out, and the old man who thought he was righteous before also reflected: "Although he stepped on the empty building and fell, after all, the cause was seeing the old man, the old man should still Apologize to him personally."

He didn't wait for Bo Hao to react after he finished speaking, he glanced outside the construction site, and disappeared in a flash.

Ten minutes later, Bo Hao, who was still in a lingering trance, suddenly received a call from his colleague.

The colleague on the other end of the phone was extremely frightened, and there was a fast-beating electronic voice in the background: "Boss Bai!!! What should I do!!! Xiao Ke's ECG monitoring suddenly fluctuated wildly!!! Will something happen to him? Dangerous!!!"

Bo Hao looked up at the sky amid the roar of his colleagues, and hung up the phone silently.

***

On the other hand, Wei Xi saw that the matter had finally come to an end, and was quite satisfied with the efficiency of his interns and disciples.

Tuanjie completed the first task assigned to him by his master. Although the method of accomplishing it was a little different, he still felt that he was great, and he came to the master and wanted to be encouraged.

Wei Xi's most precious are his two apprentices. Seeing him staring at him like a puppy, thinking that the big apprentice was almost hit by the helmets of these wicked ghosts before, it was both distressed and relieved, and he reached out his hand and thought Touch his head.

As a result, as soon as his hand rubbed Tuanjie's hair, the second apprentice on the side slowly approached a few steps and looked at him silently.

Wei Xi: "What's wrong?"

The second apprentice opened his mouth, it seemed a little hard to say, his eyes fell on the fingers he rubbed into the hair of the unity, and after a while, he still squeezed out a sentence from his teeth: "...My leg hurts."

The author has something to say: Unity and Righteousness: "… "Israel competes for favor! Shameless!
