Wei Xi was so tired that his hands hurt and his legs hurt. He rested on his apprentice's arm. His breath was full of the apprentice's scent. He heard the orderly heartbeat beside his ears. Before falling into a dream, he suddenly remembered that he seemed to have forgotten to take off the jade pendant on his chest today. .
It's really that the jade pendant is too quiet today. It was always hot and uncomfortable when it sucked the apprentice's yang qi in the past, but this time it was so mild and unusual, Wei Xi only noticed it when he was clinging to its skin. The mild heat that was not fiery occasionally seemed to rise a little, and then quickly dropped back, as if deliberately not wanting to burn him, so it was naturally ignored.
But it's obviously just a jade pendant, why do you subconsciously feel that it doesn't want to burn yourself
This thought only flashed in his mind, and with the drowsiness, it disappeared in an instant.
When Shuozong was half asleep, he vaguely heard the noise again, his mind moved slightly, but before he could wake up, Wei Xi in his arms was aware of his body movements because he slept too tightly. .
Wei Xi let out a muffled groan that was disturbed by his clear dream, and the sound from nowhere stopped instantly, and there was a dead silence.
Shuo Zong let go of the hand he had shaken with Wei Xi half asleep, and patted the shocked person in his arms. He didn't notice anything unusual, but his arm suddenly touched something warm. He subconsciously touched it, only to find that Wei Xi forgot to pick the jade pendant before going to sleep today.
He picked up the jade pendant from Weixi's chest and looked at it with the moonlight, but he didn't see anything, but suddenly he felt that the temperature of his palm was rapidly rising!
At the same time, Wei Xi, who had been quarreling in the end, stared at him, probably sensing that the hand he held with his apprentice before falling asleep was loosened, and instinctively grabbed it.
If there was a sound, it was probably the squeak of an inflated balloon being drained of air.
Almost as soon as Wei Xi's palm stretched out, the temperature of the jade pendant returned to normal. The blazing high temperature was like a flash in the pan. Before Shuozong could think about it, Wei Xi's palm was blocked by Wei Xi. There are a lot of them, slender fingers are drilled and drilled, and they must be intertwined with the apprentice.
Shuozong subconsciously let go of what was in his hand and held him.
Strange to say, Weixi's strength is so high, but his posture is always curled up when he sleeps, like a very insecure manifestation.
At this time, too, he instinctively held his apprentice's hand before he was finally satisfied, and he fell into a deep sleep again with a dazed expression, and let out a uniform and small breathing sound.
Shuozong's eyes softened instantly when he didn't even react, and he readjusted his posture and took him back into his arms, ignoring the strange jade pendant.
He didn't have anything to be afraid of, not to mention the fact that the temperature of the other party's temperature rose instantly in the palm of his hand was so short-lived, maybe it was just an illusion.
Forget it, it's not important anyway.
Go to sleep.
In the middle of the night, the "unimportant" Taicang sect leader who was close to Wei Xi's skin was reluctant to get hot and worried that tossing Shuozong would wake Wei Xi from sleeping: "..."
*****
Unity has always felt that he is in danger of killing himself recently. It is a sense of crisis that has no reason in the dark. It is like an animal encountering a natural enemy, and there are hidden dangers everywhere.
He told the master what he got, and the master just looked at his face: "nonsense."
This aspect is most likely to be unlucky recently, what does it have to do with the calamity of murder
He told his junior brother the induction he got, and the junior brother stared at him with deep eyes: "Haha."
Tuanjie couldn't believe it, and when he turned his head, he felt a chill on the back of his neck, like a knife hanging from the top of his head that was about to fall at any time, he couldn't help but speculate: "Junior brother, you said I wouldn't. Offended some villain, right? I calculated according to the book, it is the hexagram of the villain!"
Junior Brother: "...hehe."
Unity: "??"
What does huh mean? The younger brother is really unfriendly.
However, the master didn't have time to pay attention to him. The statue that the believers had asked for had not yet arrived. In the morning, the boss suddenly called and said that the Xiaoxiang requested by the Taicang Zongzong had been cracked twice after being fired in the kiln.
The boss is very troubled: "It should not be, I have been in this business for decades, and there is nothing wrong with the heat."
The boss specializes in making gods for people, and has a little understanding of ghosts and gods, so he feels a little evil: "Is it a little abnormal?"
Wei Xi decided to take the apprentices to the scene to see.
When he entered the store, he saw the owner of the Shensu Store looking at the mud embryos on a table and was worried. Weixi saw the batch of mud embryos clearly, and couldn't help but stunned.
The final image in his mind was Wei Dedao's sleeping face with his eyes closed, so in the final request to the boss, the eyes of the statue were closed.
The boss's craftsmanship is beyond his imagination. It's just such a subtle hint, but the mud embryo he molds really has the taste of Wei Dao. His robes are fluttering, his temperament is leisurely, his eyes are closed, and his face is smiling. , as if in the next second, he would open his mouth and babble on the scriptures for others.
Wei Xi watched for a while before stepping forward. The boss said with a frown, "This is really the most difficult deal I've ever received. It cracked before entering the kiln, and it still cracked after entering the kiln, obviously the other idols of the same batch are all fine. , only your family's god sculpture, a complete one can't be found, and the embryo soil used is exactly the same!"
Wei Xi stepped forward noncommittally, and listened to the boss's cautious guess: "It's too bizarre, do you think it may be that the idol doesn't want to be molded? What did you mold him for?"
Wei Xi answered truthfully: "I opened a sect, and some believers want to invite two small ministers back to worship."
One wants to treat constipation, the other wants to treat beriberi.
The boss didn't know the inside story, so it was very strange: "Isn't that good, the incense is strong, how can the gods disagree?"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a clatter, and the earthen embryo closest to him swayed and dropped his arm.
Shuozong: "..."
Boss: "...It seems that I'm really unhappy..."
Wei Xi didn't care, and in the boss's terrified guess, he stepped forward to take the broken arm that fell, and looked at it.
The cut surface of the broken arm was neat and clean, as if it had been cut off, and Tuanjie was also afraid to see it: "Master, Master, does Tianzun really want to be invited back by the believers?"
Wei Xi didn't think so, and said lightly: "How is it possible, your master has the world in his heart, and he usually does not hesitate to teach scriptures when he encounters an ant in the mountains."
Statue of Broken Arm: "..."
Wei Xi said and slammed the broken arm back into the crack. The boss just wanted to remind that the soil embryo was not sticky enough and it was almost dry, so it was useless to pick it up, when he saw him let go of his hand and said, "Look, it's just a coincidence. ."
The interface of the broken arm of the statue is as neat as new, as if it had never been separated.
"Let's bake in the kiln." After Wei Xi signaled to the boss, he stared at the group of mud embryos and leaned towards the silent second apprentice beside him.
The second apprentice looked at his face where he couldn't see any emotions for a while, then suddenly reached out and stroked his hair comfortingly: "Did you miss him?"
Wei Xi grabbed his hand: "How is that possible."
Wei Dedao, that dead old man, can't do anything except eat and sleep every day.
He lowered his eyes and played with his apprentice's slender and fair fingers. The pulp of his fingers gently wiped the scars on the back of the other's hand, and he was held back by the apprentice. He then stopped his small movements, and after a while, he replied disdainfully: "There is only a little at most. After the fire is finished, let's make a gift for ourselves in the sect."
The expression of the boss who cleaned up the mud embryo became strange when he cleaned up.
He always had various accidents during the process of burning the Taicangzong kiln mud embryo, such as inexplicable cracking after entering the kiln, such as disintegration without warning when placed on the table, and sometimes even a little bit of the action of picking it up. Negligence can cause a supposedly pliable statue to fall apart.
But just now, when he was cleaning up, he accidentally let go of a god statue and dropped it on the table. The table was a little narrow, and the air-dried statue rolled to the side of the table.
The boss has experienced this kind of accident countless times. In addition to being frustrated, he also knows that he is powerless. He is still holding other statues in his hands.
The statue rolled, and it really rolled to the edge of the table, but who knew that a bizarre scene would appear immediately after that, the statue suddenly stopped rolling, then hovered on the edge of the table, and began to sway from side to side.
It seems to be engaged in a fierce psychological struggle, sometimes rolling half a circle toward the safe inside of the table, and sometimes shaking a little toward the abyss outside the table.
boss:"… "
The boss glanced at the watch, it had been shaken for five minutes, no matter how big the inertia should be shaken away, right? Is this great immortal dancing or not
*****
Weixi was preparing to organize a company party when he received the news from the boss that the kiln had been successfully fired.
Taicang Zong received a promotion from the Yin Cao Si Yamen, and jumped from a private enterprise to a public institution. The future is boundless. This is really good news for a small company in its infancy.
Of course, such a happy event must be shared with the employees. It just so happens that the company has never had group activities since its establishment. Appropriate group activities are very helpful for the cultivation of tacit understanding among employees. Therefore, the general manager of Taicang Zong Yiyi suggested Next, the chairman Wei Xi made a first-of-its-kind expansion event.
In this regard, the attitude of Shuo Zong, the head of the Finance Department of Taicang Zong, is: "..."
Speaking of this job assignment, the process is actually like this.
That day, Wei Xi urged the disciples to find a photo frame and hang the certificate they got next to the business license in the living room. Wei Tianyi, who was still unhappy after dinner, walked over with his hands behind his back, frowned and scanned the certificate for two. Eye.
When he first saw the festive red cover of the certificate, he thought it was a certificate of merit or Weixi got a mechanic certificate or something, but when he took a closer look, he saw a few gadgets, both underworld and monsters.
Wei Tianyi felt very unlucky, raised his brows and said, "What is it, quickly pick it up!"
Tuanjie explained to him that this is the government commendation our company received, and Taicangzong will no longer be an ordinary company, but an agency.
Wei Tianyi didn't believe a single word. Instead, he felt that his eldest son and his eldest apprentice were simply insane. What the hell is a yin cao yamen? After commending him, he sneered and asked, "Oh, so powerful, have you joined the Party? Have you joined the CPPCC? Which office does your unit belong to? The Central Committee? The National People's Congress? The State Council?"
Wei Xi: "?"
Unity began to think hard: "Which do we belong to?"
Shuozong: "...None of them belong."
Wei Tianyi wasn't too full, but he was very proud to see that he was able to win a city. Ruining companies, pretending to be ghosts, burning incense and worshipping Buddha, not knowing what they are doing every day, not clearly dividing their positions, returning institutions, and asking you micro-self-employed to save face!"
As the saying goes, three people must have my teacher, Wei Xi frowned deeply.
Not to mention the series of institutions mentioned by Wei Tianyi that are not easy to mess with, the suggestion he put forward is of a very high standard. Road, the rest of the management positions have indeed never been appointed.
Since we want to expand the sect, we can't continue to play like this.
He took the company's position list from the search of Unity, and as the head, he must be the chairman, and then go down-
"Which position do you want?"
Unity Yi Lao was very happy: "Master! I want to be the general manager!"
Weixi: "Okay, Queer, how about you?"
Shuozong: "..."
Against Wei Tianyi's indescribable gaze, he couldn't resist Wei Xi's serious expression, and he clicked on the options of the finance department.
Wei Tianyi watched the division process of several important departments of Taicang Sect in disbelief. At the end, he was assigned a person in charge of the reception office. He lost his sarcasm and walked away in amazement with his hands behind his back - this company can be open for two years without going bankrupt. He turned his head off and kicked the ball.
*****
So Taicangzong's first employee travel activity was launched under the convening of the three veterans.
Uncle Shen heard that the yin cao yamen issued the certificate to his own company, don't mention how happy, although the yin cao yamen can't control the Taicang sect to enter the CPPCC, it is absolutely authoritative to their ghosts. Compared with this, he feels that Joining the CPPCC is much less attractive.
The local City God Division also gave Taicang Zong some preparations, preparations! Not to mention lonely ghosts and wild ghosts, even normal reincarnated ghosts have to go to death to test their careers. For the ghosts, career editing is not just as simple as an iron rice bowl in the world. If you have a job, you can have an income, the career is organized in droughts and floods and the income is guaranteed, and the job is beautiful. For better positions, such as the local land division of the city, even the most grass-roots ecstasy can have gray income after work, because they have ecstasy and complaints organized. Rights, and are quite respected by ordinary ghosts, who sees it rudely? More importantly, after joining the weaving, there are also preferential treatment for reincarnation!
One day I don't want to be a ghost anymore, I apply to the yamen, and those with excellent work performance may be able to vote for a rich second generation who has no worries about food and clothing in the next life!
These rich second-generation officials and second-generation officials in Yangjian are often said to be reincarnated. However, how do mortals know that except for a few who have great merits in their previous lives, the rest are basically monopolized by the staff of the City God Division in various places.
Uncle Shen traveled from south to north and started from scratch in the past, but he has heard a lot of gossip. The only grandson of a wealthy businessman in the capital who is loved by thousands, there are ghosts guessing that it is a small leader of the local city god department. The application submitted by the small leader at that time was brilliant. Extremely, his subordinates were sentenced to nearly a thousand criminal cases, and there was not a single case of unjust, false or wrongful conviction, and two years after his resignation, the only grandson of the wealthy businessman was born.
Uncle Shen couldn't help but feel happy when he thought of this. There is the sweetness of programming. In order to become a regular, I am afraid that one by one will take the initiative to work overtime and become programmers in the world.
This is such a big event wow!
Now that the haunted house and the detective agency are all listed for rest, Uncle Shen led hundreds of ghost trainee employees and the old men and ladies from the mediation team excitedly getting ready to go out.
Wei Xi talked to Qiu Guokai about the employee's outing, mainly because the group of spirits who were new to the brokerage company were actually employees of the Taicang Sect. Since it was a collective expansion of employees, they could not be excluded.
Qiu Guokai didn't have any opinions. The sprites were new to the company and had no resources. They were all in a collective state of digging their feet, and going out did not delay things. However, when he thought that Wei Xi was going to bring a group of monsters among his employees, he was still a little worried: "Master Wei, how about bringing them to the company's staff expansion? They are not of the same race, in case you will scare your employees again. already."
Weixi: "No way."
Qiu Guokai did not dare to persuade him. After hanging up, he had to instruct the boar essence and other essences. When going out to play, remember to cover up his abnormality and not show it in front of the Taicangzong employees.
In case someone is frightened to call the police, when the police arrive, everyone will be completely screwed!
The spirits and monsters have been out for so many days, and they all feel that life outside the mountain is indeed more comfortable than in the mountain. Besides, they all know what will happen after they are exposed, and they all nod their heads carefully.
After half an hour.
The boar essence stood stiffly, and the younger brothers and sisters clinged to him in fear, surrounded by a group of terrifying ghosts, some with blood all over their faces, some with half their heads, and some with one of their eyes missing.
The dead ghosts looked at them critically: "This is the colleague from the branch?"
"It's pretty hey."
"I heard from Manager Shen that I want to be a star in the future."
"Hey, I'm so envious. Before I died, I actually wanted to enter the entertainment industry, but I didn't look good..."
Boar Essence: "… "
The squirrel spirit on the side said tremblingly: "Pig, brother pig, I'm afraid."
The wild boar carefully said that you were afraid, and I still wanted to call the police.
*****
Wei Xi and his apprentice chose several locations for the company to expand, and they chose the Beijing Forest Zoo.
This zoo is very famous. It is said that the scenery is quite good. It is also a holy place for many new employees of the brokerage branch. More importantly, Weixi himself is also very interested in it.
But the only downside is that the zoo is closed at night, and the staff can only travel during the day. Although with the special methods of Taicang Sect, the ghost employees in the company are not afraid of the day, but going out during the day is still a relatively poor experience for ghosts.
But there are too many ghosts, and there is really nothing fun to do in the capital at night, so more than 700 ghosts can't go to the disco together.
Fortunately, the day of departure was a lucky cloudy day, and the sun was not violent.
This group of ghost employees in the company has been dead for the shortest four years, and the longest has been two hundred years. For the first time after their death, they had the opportunity to go out to play together. They were all so excited that they kept sharing their own picnics from the beginning offerings.
The spirits stood blankly to one side, and beside them were all kinds of—
"I brought a white candle, would you like to try it?"
"This is the incense stick I saved yesterday at noon, but it smells so good, you can smell it too."
All are speechless.
The crowd of more than 700 ghosts standing together is really spectacular. Although ordinary humans can't see it, it is still very crowded in Weixi's vision.
The time was just right, and it was very bright without the sun. Uncle Shen suggested to Wei Xi: "Master, why don't everyone take the subway? In broad daylight, it's a shame to go to the zoo like this."
Weixi: "Subway?"
He hasn't been on the subway yet.
He subconsciously asked the opinions of the two apprentices. Tuanyiyi came from Fengyang, and he had never seen the subway. He only saw the second disciple of the Taicang Sect in the subway silently looking at the excited ghosts with offerings in front of him: "…"
Get them on the subway together...
Wei Xi didn't get an answer, and turned to Uncle Shen: "Let's go then."
During the day on this day, the commuters of the Beijing subway felt that the air in the subway was exceptionally cold.
Everyone rubbed their arms and complained that the subway department was too stingy, and they were reluctant to turn on the heater. Shuo Zong stood at a distance with Wei Xi, and silently watched a few unknown employees in front of him commenting on the living people around him—
"Her legs are so thin."
"This dress is beautiful and more fashionable than when I died. Save up a few months' salary and let Manager Shen buy it for me."
As soon as the subway door opened, people crowded inside, filling the entire carriage in an instant. The office workers are much more comfortable now. The heater is on in the car, and it looks stuffy when there are many people. After the ghosts squeeze in, the breathing is much cooler.
They were calm, and the ghosts who were not used to the Beijing subway were all stunned. After crowding into the carriage, in order to avoid overlapping with people, they were all crowded and screamed, floating above their heads: "There is no place!! Don't come up. !!!”
The spirits looked beautiful, wore hats and masks, and hid far away from the army. They deeply felt that this group of abnormal species should be included in the normal ranks at this time.
The first time Wei Xi took the subway, he lost two of his apprentices as soon as he got on the train. Someone was pushing on his back, and someone stepped on his shoes. The power is still coming.
This is a scene where no martial arts master can do anything, Wei Xi was directly stunned, and was sluggishly squeezed against the gate of the subway.
All around are strangers who are swearing at so many people.
Wei Xi was squeezed by them to the point of being unable to move. After a long time, he caught a familiar face from the corner of his eye: "Queer!"
The second apprentice was dressed in black, tall and slender, with a handsome face. When he appeared in the crowd, he seemed to stand out from the crowd. People around him were peeking at him. The ground squeezed towards Wei Xi.
Pushing in front of Wei Xi, he stood still, propped on the railing with one hand, lowered his head and helped Wei Xi comb his messy hair: "Are you okay?"
He stood in front of him, using his back against the crowd, and there was a small free area around him.
Wei Xi had a lingering fear: "Is this the subway?! How can there be so many people seated!"
The apprentice looked down at him, suddenly smiled, and seemed very happy to see him in such a rare state of embarrassment: "Most human beings always have a hard time... Feeling bad?"
Wei Xi stared at the rare smile on his face, his eyes a little confused.
"Rely on me if you feel uncomfortable." The apprentice stared at him, his eyes were still slightly bent, he released his arm and grabbed his wrist around his waist, "Stand firmly."
There were people all around, Wei Xi wrapped around his waist, and suddenly there was an illusion that the two of them were very quiet within a few meters.
He slowly tightened his arms and leaned over, and the apprentice stretched his shoulders, leaned against his sides, and looked at him quietly with his head down.
Wei Xi raised her head, looked at him, and stared at his lips again.
Kind of want to touch it.
The apprentice understood tacitly: "Hungry?"
Weissy shook his head.
The apprentice didn't know what was going on, the corners of his mouth curled up again, he got closer to him, and his hand slipped down to support his shoulder, and said in a low voice, "Not here."
The current posture of the two is as if they are hugging intimately.
Weixi pressed him and asked, "Where can it be?"
"Wait out." The apprentice wrapped his fingers around a strand of his hair and twisted it attentively, "I will feed you after I go out."
Wei Xi snorted lazily, leaned on him and didn't move, the apprentice simply put a hand around his waist to prevent him from being shaken.
Office workers around who suffered 10,000 injuries: "..."
The carriage swayed, Wei Xi pressed against the apprentice, leaned against him, and then heard the voice of discussion: "Hey, you know, I heard that someone on this subway track committed suicide last month, and last week someone in the forum Said that I met a ghost here when I took the subway."
"Damn it, isn't it? It's so scary? Can you run into a ghost on the subway?! Let's not let people go to work!"
Wei Xi: "..."
Wei Xi glanced at the girl who was talking, and then silently turned to the corner of the carriage, yelling at his own employees who had no place here.
The train passed through a tunnel, and someone in the carriage suddenly exclaimed, "What is that!"
Wei Xi turned his head subconsciously, and instantly saw a blurry floating object outside the subway window. The subway speed was so fast, but it was always with him, scaring the office workers in the carriage to scream: "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! !!"
Wei Xi's eyes narrowed, and at the same time, the apprentice's judgment came from above his head: "The one lying on the track."
Many ghosts who commit suicide will stay in place, of course, for different purposes, some may be looking for a substitute, and some may simply just want to scare people.
This ghost appears at the peak of its selection, and it is very likely the latter. It may not have been taken seriously during its lifetime, and after death, it will indulge in the comfort of being noticed and screaming.
In terms of attractiveness, it was really successful, because not only did the humans in the carriage see it, but more than 700 employees of Taicangzong swarmed up curiously after hearing the shouts, stepping on people's heads and climbing their shoulders. Climbing shoulders: "Ghost?! Where is the ghost!"
Wei Xi: "..."
Shuozong: "..."
The little ghost outside the car window was very satisfied with the response of the office workers, his body twisted, and he wanted to show his bloody face, so he turned his scarlet eyes and peeped at the living people in this carriage.
Immediately after, it confronted a large number of strangely shaped kin in the carriage.
More than 700 pairs of ghost eyes were staring at it, some with bloody heads and some with pierced stomachs. When it comes to eerie horror, the two sides are not on the same level.
Recumbent Ghost: "..."
The employees of Taicangzong were a little disappointed after reading it, and criticized it critically—
"That's it."
"Well, it's normal. It would be more scary if I went."
"But it runs so fast. What is the speed of the subway? Who has checked it?"
"It seems to be up to 80km/h."
"That's okay."
"It's waist seems to be broken, wow, pitiful, why can't I think of lying on the rails? I'm already ugly enough to jump off the building. Look at my head, I can't knock it back now."
"Hey what's going on? Why doesn't it move? Hey, hey! Where is he going!"
The ghost lying on the rail tightened his hips and ran fast: "... Excuse me."
The employees of Taicangzong didn't give up after humiliating it. The follow-up topic spread all the way to whether the ghost was a social fear, otherwise, how could they run away when they saw the ghost, and it was easy to make no friends.
Office workers in the subway: "... Huh? Why is there no more? Was it dazzling just now?"
Shuozong hugged Wei Xi: "..."
Wei Xi was also silent for a while next to Shuozong: "...group activities seem to be fun."
