Old Fogey Goes Down The Mountain

Chapter 48: one room

Views:

Wei Xi didn't take the aboriginal ghosts in the Gangyue Building seriously, but unexpectedly, their business ability turned out to be surprisingly good.

Once the mediation activity was carried out, it received an enthusiastic response. Many local Taoist temples even passed Kuang Zhiming and handed olive branches to Taicang Zong, an unknown sect that had just been established. In a similar business that is difficult and has to be done, when everyone encounters such a dojo, the mentality is actually similar to that of Kuang Zhiming.

Wei Xi heard a small story in the industry from Kuang Zhiming.

The protagonist of the story is the Taoist priest of the Fengnian Temple. A few years ago, a family of believers came to his temple and asked him to be a dojo. As soon as Master Feng heard this, of course he immediately followed and went to do things, put on the sacrificial table, and asked the deceased souls in the family of believers to leave by themselves. But the dead soul was very stubborn, wouldn't leave if he said anything, and his attitude was so fierce that he couldn't communicate at all, and even tried to attack the owner of the house. Feng Daochang didn't know what was going on, and of course he was protecting human beings when he saw this, so he fought this ghost with a peach wood sword. His original intention was to expel her from the house.

Before the female ghost disappeared, she was already very weak, and she couldn't even speak. She could only stare at Feng Daochang with blood red eyes and tears.

The owner's family learned that the female ghost had dissipated, and they were grateful to Feng Daochang, and also gave Feng Nian a 30,000 yuan long bright lamp. Feng Daochang was puzzled by the tears of the female ghost before she died, and he was still brooding after a long time, so when he had an opportunity, he asked someone to inquire about the owner of the house.

Unexpectedly, the final result was unexpected. Before the house was turned over, the wife of a martyr lived. Her husband was away from home to fight, and there was no news of her, so she kept watch at home all year round, and was reluctant to leave until she died. Before her death, she was worried that after her husband's death, she would not be able to find her when she returned home, so she asked her relatives to bury herself under the soil in front of the door.

The owner of the house who asked the dojo later also said that he had illegally built a basement before he encountered evil. The construction team dug up a skeleton that had been buried for an unknown number of years during the digging process. I dare not call the police, so I ask them to take it away and lose it.

After that incident, Feng Daochang fell ill and felt so guilty that he almost wanted to give up and continue to run Taoist temples.

With a single thought, he buried a ghost that had been buried deep in the ground and had been waiting for her husband for decades. However, even if this matter were changed to Kuang Zhiming or any other Taoist person, what could be done

The contradiction between death and life is sometimes irreconcilable like this. If the living make big mistakes unintentionally, is it not wrong? But as a cultivator, is it possible to watch their family be liquidated and tortured

Xuanmen's responsibilities are far heavier than the world imagines. When right and wrong are unclear, any choice on both ends of the scale carries an inexorable evil.

However, this time, the owners of the three coffins were finally persuaded by a few old ladies, and voluntarily agreed to cremate their bodies and bury them in a local mass grave on the condition of a dojo offering and New Year sacrifices for the next three years. garden.

Of course, the current owner of the house can’t ask for it, but if it didn’t come out, according to the tough attitude shown in the early stage of the mediation, Kuang Zhiming could only expel those Taoist souls into wild ghosts with no conscience. How can there be a win-win outcome today

Therefore, although Kuang Zhiming still felt that the new mediation team organized by Taicang Zong was very speechless, he was somewhat grateful. Have you received a religious service recently? If not, I have a well-paid job here. The believers have invited many Taoist temples, and I can recommend you to join together.”

Weixi: "Huh? What dojo?"

Kuang Zhiming said: "It was an invitation from a film crew. The investor of the film crew has strong financial resources. I don't know if you have heard of it. The person in charge is called Qiu Guokai. Their company recently invested in a supernatural fantasy movie. It is said that something happened after the film was launched. Lots of weird stuff."

***

As a result, there was no need for him to actively recommend it, Qiu Guokai had already come by himself.

After not seeing him for a while, he became even more obscenely fat, and his whole body seemed to be dripping with oil.

Wei Xi only glanced at it and quietly said to the second disciple beside him: "It seems that after his mother bought your spell, she really touched the spatula."

The second apprentice always sat quietly beside him, and was unmoved when he heard this, only when Qiu Guokai rushed forward as enthusiastically as before to say hello to Wei Xi, he stretched out his arms to stop the other party's approach.

Poor Qiu Guokai, an ABC who studied abroad since he was a child, has never been able to hug Wei Xi successfully since he met. He was pressed on his forehead, and his eyes couldn't help turning away from Wei Xi. He glanced at the equally handsome little apprentice next to Wei Xi, but he exuded an unpleasant temperament. After thinking about it, he retreated and asked. Second, embrace solidarity.

Tuanyiyi put his arms around his shoulders enthusiastically: "Mr. Qiu, you look good looking at your red face!"

"Don't mention it." Qiu Guokai showed a sad expression, "The marriage is considered divorced, and the child was also taken away by her, but luckily it was not discovered by the media. Alas, how could this happen? Mingming was so innocent before marriage. , the hysterical look at the divorce... it really hurts me."

His father was so angry that he beat him hard.

However, when he thought of being able to reunite with his mother who had been dead for many years now, Qiu Guokai regained his energy and looked at Wei Xi gratefully: "Master Wei, I took the liberty to visit the door this time, but I still have something to ask for."

After he moved his body with great effort and sat down, he slowly explained: "At the beginning of this year, our company invested in a fantasy movie called "Scream", which tells the story of ancient goblins and ghosts. It was just two months ago. When the machine was turned on, unexpected things kept happening, which made the crew panic."

He sighed: "It was fine at the beginning. The first part of the show was filmed in a studio, but at most it was a little rough. Later, when we started shooting on location, the entire crew moved to Mount Maohua in the next province. From the hotel in the mountains to the shooting scene, there are often staff members who say that the environment is gloomy. Our company didn't pay attention to it at the beginning. You know, ghost movies, there are some elements of that in the past. Many ghost film crews have also reported similar news, all saying that the actors have been in the crew environment for a long time, and they are too deep into the play, so that similar hallucinations will appear."

"I thought so too. But last week, the group was going to shoot a big fight scene, probably a plot like the battle of fairies and monsters. The crew didn't have enough people, so they pulled a group of two cars from outside the mountain to play it. Who knew that not long after this group of people evolved into the mountains, they all said that they had encountered a ghost and felt that they were being targeted by a ghost. Some of them said that they heard scolding, and some said that the costumes they handed down were inexplicable. It was torn to shreds. Then it was probably because of fear that he refused to film the show, so he ran away at his own expense, and it didn’t take long for the news to be passed on to the paparazzi. Anyway, this matter is now making a lot of noise on the Internet, and some netizens scolded us for hyping it up. Some people scold us for not taking actors seriously, which has a particularly bad influence."

"Actually, I just wanted to invite you at the beginning." Qiu Guokai said, "But the board of directors of the company means that the truth of this matter is not clear at the moment, so it is better to make it bigger. You don't know, there are several in the group. The actors are so frightened that they want to run away. If you go more, you can make them feel at ease. You definitely don’t have to worry about the compensation.”

**

The request of the gold card member, coupled with the generous remuneration, the result naturally need not be said.

After Qiu Guokai's request, he put a pillar of incense on the newly appointed Dao Tianzun of Taicang Zong, and promised that he would be willing to light a light for the Zongmen Tianzun after the matter was resolved.

Eternal lanterns are another criterion for evaluating the prosperity of Taoist temples in addition to incense. Weixi was immediately moved. According to Kuang Zhiming, there were more than a dozen believers who lit the lanterns in their temples, but Taicang Zong did not have one.

Therefore, he was in a very happy mood before leaving. When passing the incense burner, he reached out and touched it, sneering: "Wait, you will have a lamp for use soon."

Although the wall of the incense burner in winter is made of brass, it does not feel cold for some reason. It is estimated that it is smoked by the incense of the gradually increasing number of believers.

Tuanyiyi glanced at the incense burner strangely, and felt that he seemed to have an illusion. Is it the cause of the wind? Why is the incense in the stove burning so brightly

Shuozong also heard the voice of Mrs. Wang, who had inexplicably put on a lot of incense today, excitedly talking to others: "It's really good to get the Tao!"

"… "

Wei Xi saw his expression and asked, "What's wrong?"

Shuozong gave him a complicated look, and replied with mixed feelings, "...It's nothing."

This sect really does not know what to say from top to bottom.

***

Huamao Mountain is located in a neighboring province, and it takes nearly five hours to drive. It was already dark when the three masters and apprentices arrived.

The other Taoist priests invited by Qiu Guokai's company arrived one step ahead of them, and Tuanjie had already reacted at this moment, looking at the cars in the parking lot and sighing: "Alas, although Mr. Qiu's attitude is very sincere, their company would rather spend Qian also has to invite so many colleagues to come here, and I may still think that our Taicang Sect is not famous enough to hold the scene. Alas."

This is the case with the small sect just starting out, and the deterrence is not enough. He has been complacent about the company's beautiful performance recently, and now he is also calmed down by reality.

Wei Xi heard the words, but his expression was light: "Don't worry, sooner or later, the Taicang Sect will be famous and numerous disciples."

Unity and righteousness smiled, thinking that his master is really optimistic, and the goal is so far away, how can it be so easy to achieve

Wei Xi turned to his two disciples, his curly hair and coat were blown violently by the mountain wind, but his figure remained unshakable: "This is the last wish of your master."

The two apprentices looked at him in silence. The eldest apprentice just finished laughing, and when he saw his rare seriousness, he couldn't help but look at him. The second apprentice looked at him for a while, but calmly raised his hand and pressed it on his shoulder.

"There will be, these are what you want." The temperature of his palm seemed to be able to iron the skin through the fabric, Wei Xi listened to him turn his eyes away, looked at the distant hills, and answered so lightly, "Go in, It's windy."

There is just such a hotel in the mountains. There is no store in front of the village and no store in the back. It looks quite lonely and strange, but it is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the scenery is really good.

Before Wei Xi stepped into the lobby, he heard Lu Wenqing's voice: "Wei Xi! Are you here too?"

Although Lu Wenqing's strength is not great, he has a great family background and knows a lot of local daoists. Naturally, he is also on the list of invitations from Qiu Guokai's company.

Kuang Zhiming also took the initiative to say hello, and at the same time introduced the origin of Weixi to the Taoists around him. Some of the people who came this time had already met Taicang Sect through the amazing mediation team, and followed up to get acquainted with them, while others had never met before. Hearing this name, they asked each other about Weixi's origin.

After learning that this was a newly opened Taoist temple, I was no longer interested. I had never heard of the name, so it must be just that.

At this time, the person in charge of Qiu Guokai's company came forward with the list and said apologetically to everyone: "Masters, there is only such a hotel in the mountains, and some of the staff members of the crew still live there. There are really not enough rooms, so I can only feel wronged. The two live in one room."

Many older Taoist priests present frowned, but they were reluctant and unable to do anything. Everyone rode the car all the way up the mountain, which was indeed desolate. To be honest, it was quite surprising to have such a decent-sized hotel.

Wei Xi was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at the two disciples: "Two people living in one room?"

He brought two apprentices, how should this be divided

The second disciple seemed to be stunned when he heard the news, with a complicated expression.

Lu Wenqing, the fancier brother, immediately became enthusiastic: "Weixi, please stay with me, let your two apprentices share a room, I can sleep peacefully, don't snoring or grind my teeth!"

The eldest disciple of Taicang Sect stared, "No way!"

The second disciple of the Taicang Sect frowned: "...No way!"

The two refused almost in unison, and Lu Wenqing was inexplicable: "Why not!"

Tuanjie glared at him with eyes like a thief: "Why do you have a room with my master, I'm almost the same room as him! What are you trying to do, you!"

Lu Wenqing: "You're sick, you, I think you have plans! The whole person is gay! What do you want to do to Weixi!"

Unity: "Gya what gay, don't fart!"

Lu Wenqing: "What's the matter? You used to call Mr. Shuozong your husband! Don't you admit it?"

Unity: "… "

Unity became angry, Lu Wenqing refused to give in an inch, the two glared at each other, and the atmosphere was tense.

The second apprentice of Taicang Zong was silent for a while, picked up the key handed by the person in charge, picked up the suitcase on the ground with one hand, lowered his head and calmly said to Wei Xi: "Let's go."

The room was on the sixth floor, and the old elevator was very narrow. When he got out of the elevator, Wei Xi saw the second apprentice suddenly look up at the ceiling and asked the staff who led the way: "Is it all empty?"

The staff was stunned: "How do you know? The above is the large suite of our hotel, which is really unoccupied."

Shuozong: "Since the suite is empty, why did you tell us that there are not enough rooms? There should be many rooms in the suite."

Wei Xi became puzzled when he heard this, and then looked at the staff member, who knew that the staff member's expression changed suddenly. He took it to the door of the room and left in a hurry, not staying for a moment.

Shuozong quietly looked back at the back of her leaving in a hurry, until he heard Wei Xi's voice: "What are you waiting for, open the door quickly."

He came back to his senses, glanced at Wei Xi, and then stared at the room in front of him, 609.

Extending his arms, the access card made a screeching sound, and the door lock was opened, but Shuozong stood there. He hesitated, a room...

After a moment, I thought, no big deal, just a room.

I heard Wei Xi's voice from the front who pushed open the door: "Huh? Why is there only one bed?"

Shuozong: "..."

He was stunned for a moment, then looked up.

In the slightly cramped dim room in front, there was only one double bed.

There was also a fake rose on the bed, creating a honeymoon-like warmth in the space under the dim light.

Wei Xi didn't wait for his second apprentice to react, but he found out again. He turned to the small space with the bathtub on the side, and his tone was very surprised: "Huh? Why is this place transparent?"

On the right side of the door, the frosted shower space is so transparent that you can clearly see the washstand inside. Of course, the bathtub and shower room are also clearly visible. This is the first time he has seen such a decoration since he went down the mountain.

Wei Xi is very naive, and at first glance, there is no yellow waste in his mind: "It's pretty good."

Shuozong began to feel that the box in his hand was heavy: "..."
