As soon as the fat ghost spoke, the slightly depressing atmosphere was instantly swept away.
We all laughed.
Madoka slapped his head with her wings and said meanly.
"Coward! Erniuzi, you are really a coward."
Niu Deheng looked at Niu Bi who was slumped on the ground.
"Then my brother was so scared that he couldn't stand still!"
"Holy shit, brother? You have to drag your brother into the water with you."
Niu Bi was dissatisfied.
Madoka and I laughed even louder.
At this point, the supernatural incident about the haunting of this construction site has been basically solved.
But regarding some questions about [Underworld] and [Underworld], I plan to ask Xiao Yuan alone after I go back. Although I have a pleasant time with the brothers Niu Bi and Niu Deheng, after all, I have only just met them two or three times. sky.
For such extremely secretive matters, it is better to avoid them for the time being. It’s not too late to wait until everyone gets to know each other better and slowly talk about it while getting along!
I pulled Niubi up from the ground and patted him on the shoulder.
"Let's go, Lao Niu. Let's go find Boss Zhao and tell him about this matter. There should be no problem if they try to lay the foundation again tomorrow morning."
"Okay! Listen to Brother Wu."
Niubi grinned.
So, we left Area D of the construction site and returned to the staff dormitories to the east.
Zhao Bohua was quite able to get along well with the workers. He asked his subordinates to build him a simple quiet room at the back of the employee dormitory area - although the conditions were definitely much better than those of ordinary workers.
But being able to come and stay at the construction site once or twice from time to time is already considered a very good boss.
Niu Bi stepped forward to knock on the door and said.
"Boss Zhao, are you still awake? The matter has been resolved and you can come out now."
Because after dark tonight, Niu Bidu and I have repeatedly warned and emphasized that no one can go out at night! Must stay in the house honestly.
After a while.
A crunch.
The door opened.
Zhao Bohua stood at the door with messy hair and his clothes were a little wrinkled. He probably didn't take off his clothes and fell asleep fully clothed on the bed.
His expression was very surprised.
"Master Niu, Brother Wu, is the matter really resolved?"
I nodded.
"Of course, it really can't be true anymore!"
Niu Bi also made a little joke and said.
"But Boss Zhao, your psychological quality is really good. Don't worry, I didn't expect you to be able to sleep? I used to help some bosses deal with supernatural issues, and they were all worried."
Zhao Bohua smiled bitterly.
"Master Niu is really ridiculous. I'm actually very nervous. But I haven't slept well in the past few days. I'm under too much pressure from all aspects and I can't hold on anymore."
"You and Brother Wu came here during the day and solved the problem of the terrifying hallucination in the foundation pit in one go. I knew you two were really capable experts. As soon as the stone in my heart fell to the ground, my tense nerves relaxed. , and fell asleep directly.”
I also told him that from now on, he should be able to sit back and relax about this construction site!
As long as we continue to treat workers well, develop well, and abide by laws and regulations, we will definitely make a fortune. Have the opportunity to become one of the first-tier big names in the Chongqing real estate circle.
While Zhao Bohua was excited, he was also very curious. What is it that is so terrible that it paralyzes the entire construction site for a week and makes people panic?
Niu Bi glanced at me - obviously wanting to ask my opinion on how many details I could tell him.
So, I will tell you the basic situation of Liu Xiu'e.
Including that she was from the late Qing Dynasty, and her original house was located in Area D of the construction site. But he died in the early years of the Republic of China and had no descendants, so the family home naturally became a ruin.
But in order to wait for her husband to return from the war, the soul of the dead has been lingering around here. Until your construction site started, she didn't want to leave, so she deliberately blocked it...etc., all told.
Of course, the underworld and the underworld were definitely not mentioned. I just say that Liu Xiu'e has left the earthly world and been reincarnated anyway.
After hearing this, Zhao Bohua also sighed.
"Although this ghost is very powerful and scary, he was also a miserable person in life. It might as well be reincarnated..."
Speaking of this, a look of shock appeared on his face again.
"It turns out that not only are there really ghosts in this world, but there are also reincarnations?"
Zhao Bohua, who never believed this at all, frowned.
I said calmly.
"Because of this, Boss Zhao should remain the same in the future as he is now, treat workers more kindly, and don't be unkind for the sake of wealth. Otherwise, when you die and go to the underworld, you will always be liquidated."
Although I don't know the specific situation in the underworld, it doesn't stop me from "scare" him a little bit.
Zhao Bohua waved his hand quickly.
"That won't happen. I didn't believe this before, and I wouldn't do bad things just because I have money. A gentleman loves money, and he should use it wisely."
"Well, that's good." I nodded, "If there's nothing else, can you arrange a place for me and Lao Niu to rest? We can wait until tomorrow morning to confirm that there is no problem with the foundation before leaving."
Zhao Bohua quickly gave way.
"How about you two condescend to live in my temporary room? I'll find a way to squeeze in somewhere else."
I shook my head.
"Don't bother me, Boss Zhao. If you don't mind, let's come together. I'm from the countryside anyway, so I'm not that particular. I can sleep on a sofa or a table, even if there's a chair to sit on."
He quickly waved his hand.
"You can't say that!"
Anyway, we ended up staying in Zhao Bohua's temporary room for the rest of the night.
When he entered the room, Niu Deheng floated past him, and he whispered to himself.
"Why do you feel a little cold? It's like a cold wind blowing... There can't be ghosts! Uh, no, two experts are here. The century-old ghosts have been dealt with, how can there be ghosts under their noses? Appear underneath.”
Zhao Bohua was talking to himself, but after I entered An Jin in Kung Fu, all aspects of my body improved significantly. I could hear this mosquito-like sound clearly and felt funny in my heart.
"What would Boss Zhao's expression be like if he knew that Master Niu, whom he respects, carries a ghost with him every day?"
…
the next morning.
After the workers got up one after another, Zhao Bohua asked his several project supervisors and foremen to summon all the workers and gather them all in Area D.
A dense group of people.
Then let the skilled workers operate the machinery and start driving the steel sheet piles into the foundation pit.
This time, it went very smoothly!
There were no accidents and the pile was successfully driven in.
Zhao Bohua finally breathed a sigh of relief, with a happy smile on his face.
The workers also burst into cheers.
"Very good!"
"We can continue working!"
"Yes, I haven't been able to sleep well these past few days. I'm worried that if our boss can't finish the project, we won't be able to make money, and we'll have to continue walking south or go back to our hometown."
"Well, Boss Zhao is a very nice person. I used to work for another boss, and I was often late in paying my wages."
"In short, the construction site is back to normal, just keep working and that's it."
I glanced at Zhao Bohua and thought he was quite a good person. He's a good person, but he's not stupid either, and he's thoughtful!
Obviously, let all the workers watch the foundation being laid smoothly! This is the best way to relieve fear and restore confidence.
People, the most important thing is hope, isn't it?
With hope, endless potential can be unleashed!
At noon that day, Zhao Bohua invited us to have a big meal at a high-end restaurant in the Huanyu Plaza opposite.
After asking for my and Niu Bi's bank account numbers during the dinner, he made a call directly on his mobile phone and asked the secretary to transfer the money to the bank.
Niu and I are worth 166,666 yuan each!
To be honest, I was a little shocked.
The big boss in this city is indeed more generous than the others in the town!
"No wonder, in most cases, there are more hidden practitioners in big cities than in small places. Just like ordinary people, unless they are used to living in their hometown or have special reasons, practitioners also like to live in the city."
I thought to myself.
After all, ascetics also need to eat, drink and have diarrhea - even ascetics who do not pursue material enjoyment still need money to buy various spiritual herbs, spiritual stones and the like.
Under the solid foundation of modern civilization, practitioners also need to abide by the operating rules of society.
It's just that because we have magical powers, we also gain a higher degree of freedom.
After completing this order, plus the 50,000 yuan I brought from home, the deposit in my bank card has exceeded 200,000 yuan!
There are also three to four hundred thousand left with my parents.
In 2002, even in the city, people were already considered wealthy, right?
Saying goodbye to Zhao Bohua, we got on Niu Bi's car again.
We drove all the way to the sandy area and drove back - Ciqikou and Yucheng No. 1 Middle School were both in the sandy area to the west of Yucheng. Zhao Bohua's land is near Hongqi River Valley in Jiangbei District.
I sighed in the car.
“It’s so easy to make money in this business in the city!”
Niu Bi chuckled.
"That's right! After all, we are not ordinary people. All we make is technical money."
"correct!"
I suddenly became curious.
"Old Niu, you have been doing this business in Yucheng for a long time. It stands to reason that you should have made a lot of money. Why are you still living in that dilapidated stilted building in Ciqikou Ancient Town?"
Niu Bi chuckled.
"Brother Wu, you don't know something right now. In the eyes of those who seek help from us, practitioners like us who have magical means should escape from the world and live in a quiet place. And we should bring them with us It has a simple and primitive feeling. The more it is like this, the more noble it looks! Don’t look at the remoteness of my stilted building, but it is still a three-story building inside a 4A scenic spot, and the price is not cheap."
"That's true."
I nodded,
Although Niu Bi's words sounded a bit deceptive, in fact... maybe there was some truth to it.
"not to mention……"
Niu Bi's face showed a helpless expression.
"Brother Wu, in our industry, we make a lot of money, but we actually spend it very quickly! In addition to innate talent and tenacious perseverance, various financial resources are also indispensable in the path of spiritual practice. Yes."
"Especially, what is passed down by a partial sect like ours is different from the folk dharma that is mainly based on penance and experience accumulation such as coffin bearers, corpse diggers, yin paper masters, and yin walkers. It is different from Feng Shui masters and fortune tellers. This kind of pretentiousness is even different. We spend money like water! Don’t you feel it? "
What?
Spend money like running water?
There are many questions in my mind.
I really don’t feel anything! If this were the case, I would just be a child in the countryside. How could my family have the money and resources to practice and study the Fa with Master?
When Niu Bi saw that I didn't answer, he turned to look at me while holding the steering wheel in his hand. He probably had a weird expression on my face. He was also a little confused and asked tentatively.
"Especially since we are following the path of talismans. Think about it, little brother Wu, you have learned talismans and used them to cast various spells. You have to spend money to buy these talisman papers, right? Talisman papers are very expensive. Besides, When drawing a charm, if it fails accidentally, I feel very distressed.”
What? !
I stared at him confused and blurted out.
"Do I need to spend money on the talisman paper? Isn't this thing just cut out of thickened special rice paper with better quality and the size and shape are right?"
Niu Bi: "..."
He looked like he'd seen a ghost.
Even Niu Deheng looked over from the back seat in disbelief and said.
"Brother Wu, are you kidding me? Before practitioners of the Taoist Talisman Sect reach the stage of using their own Qi to [draw talismans in the sky], they need special talisman paper to carry spells with different effects. And making this kind of People who make talismans are very popular in the circle! You can understand that a sharpshooter with good marksmanship may not necessarily be able to make a gun himself."
? ? ?
I'm full of questions.
The more I listened, the more confused I became.
"Wait a minute! What you two mean is that the talisman paper used to draw incantations requires a special production method? And not every practitioner can make it. Do you need to buy it from a specific person? "
"That's for sure!"
Niu Bi and Niu Deheng nodded in unison.
Niu Bi was a little helpless.
"If you are a true disciple of a large Taoist sect, you can freely receive talisman paper from the sect for free. But some talisman monks from small sects, or simply private cultivators, have to find a way to make talismans in the ghost market. Buy it from the teacher.”
I:"……"
I looked at Madoka who was eating dried fish in the back seat and asked her.
"Don't eat the dead fat bird! Lao Niu and the others, are they telling the truth?"
Gulu!
It raised its head and swallowed a piece of dried fish whole into its stomach.
Then he answered slowly.
"It's true. Daniuzi and Erniuzi are not idle to tease you. Regarding the situation of the talisman, it is indeed the case."
"Ah! It's so difficult to get talisman paper, why do you have to spend money to buy it? Why didn't I know! And why didn't anyone tell me about it?"
Madoka smiled mischievously.
"You didn't ask me, Master Bird! As for the other people... Among your former partners, the big rabbit, the little fox, and the little plum who picked up the corpse, they must not know it themselves. Old Man Cao thinks you are the fairy girl's Disciple, I won’t be surprised by anything, just treat it as a trivial matter and don’t mention it. The person named Yuan probably has the same idea as Old Man Cao.”
Oh my god!
I just couldn't laugh or cry.
I have been practicing for several years, but I didn’t know that the talisman paper used to draw talismans had to be made by special means!
But most people who practice Talisman don't know how to do it themselves. Do you have to go to some ghost market to find a charm maker to buy it?
I quickly took out a relatively basic [Evil-Suppressing Talisman] from my pocket and handed it to Niu Bi.
"Old Niu, look, this is a spell I use myself. Is this paper the same as what you said?"
When Niu Bi saw it, he couldn't help but blurted out.
"Holy crap! Is it really possible to just draw a spell on ordinary rice paper and it works? And why is the breath of the spell so strong? It's outrageous. Open the door for him. It's outrageous!"
Crunch!
He slammed on the brakes and quickly pulled the car to the side of the road and stopped - he was probably too excited to drive properly.
Then explain quickly.
"Brother Wu, don't mind. My attitude just now was not directed at you. I was just too surprised. Really, people are so irritating! Look, this is my charm."
Niu Bi said, took out a [Speed Talisman] he drew from his pocket and handed it to me.
