Since the beginning of winter, the snow in Luoyang has not stopped, falling one after another. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info For a while, mountains, rivers, houses, trees, everything became covered in silver and extremely enchanting. The arrival of the New Year renders this thousand-year-old capital even more gorgeous and charming.

On both sides of the street, the red lanterns just hung by the garden workers made the smell of the New Year stronger, and the bare peach trees were transformed into golden cash cows after being wrapped around the lanterns. They complement the neon lights of the shops on the street, and the street lights and the various ceiling lamps that shine through the windows of the houses, and the night in the city becomes beautiful and flamboyant, blurry and dreamy.

On the morning of Chinese New Year's Eve, the sky began to fall snowflakes again, the snowflakes were finely broken, dancing in the wind, and after a while, a thin layer fell on the red lantern on the side of the road, setting off the red lantern more and more beautiful. Ji Ying was wrapped in a dark blue down jacket and carried two bottles of Harbin beer in his hands, and came in from the outside, and when the door was closed, a few snowflakes naughtily came in through the crack in the door, only to be negligent for a moment, and then disappeared.

The sound of crackling firecrackers sounded outside, and the air was shaken so that there was nowhere to hide, so they hid in people's ears. After suffering one strong impact after another, the eardrum sighed helplessly, "Hey, when will human beings stop this kind of death, and when will I be quiet." Complaining all day long about bad air quality, complaining about smog all day long, if you didn't do it yourself, how could there be this result? ”

The owner of the Internet café looked at the quartz clock on the wall, and the minute hand of the clock pointed exactly to three o'clock in the afternoon. He casually picked up a whip with 1,000 rings, and then lit it at the door of the Internet café, and with a crisp beeping sound, the air was torn into countless openings again.

"Come and eat." The owner of the Internet café said.

Ji Ying took off his down jacket and went to the bathroom to wash his hands. There are already four dishes on the counter, including boiled pig's trotters, steamed sea bass, stir-fried pork with bean sprouts, and a plate of cold enoki mushrooms. The food was bought by the boss from a nearby restaurant, and after the restaurant sold his food, he closed down and went home for the New Year. A notice was then made on the roller shutter door: the seventh day of the new year resumed business.

The owner of the Internet café is not good at words, I heard that he is also a northerner, his hometown is in Erdaohezi, Heilongjiang, and Ji Ying is also half a fellow countryman. Therefore, when I saw Ji Ying, I was very kind. During the Chinese New Year, it was the season of labor shortage, and Ji Ying did not give up his job in the Internet café to go home for the New Year, which in itself was the greatest support for him. That's why he prepared a few dishes to reward his loyal employee.

Ji Ying has his reasons for not going home, and one of the important reasons is that the cost of going home is too high, and he can't afford it. Not to mention anything else, the light road fee is enough for him to drink a pot. The round-trip expenses add up to more than 1,000 yuan, which is a month's salary for him! In addition, I have to buy something when I go home, and then throw some pocket money to my parents, plus the New Year's money of my niece and daughter, this one slipped down, and there was no 35,000 that couldn't get down. If you don't go home, it's all saved.

It's been half a year since he came to Luoyang, but there is hardly much money left in the past six months. It doesn't cost money to eat and live, but it costs money to see a doctor and take medicine, it costs money to get a haircut and bath, and it costs money to buy daily necessities and add some clothes. Now the price of goods is high, and it is not much money to spend it. Looking at the pitiful deposit on the passbook, Ji Ying had no choice but to grit his teeth and choose to stay in Luoyang for the New Year.

Because the boss doesn't like to talk much, Ji Ying doesn't know what to say. The two drank sullenly, and then cleaned up the counter, Ji Ying lit a cigarette, pushed open the door, and stood on the street to smoke. Smoking is allowed in the Internet café, but Ji Ying is not used to smoking in the Internet café, he feels that the place is small, smoking is not pleasant, or smoking outside.

At this time, there were not many pedestrians on the street, only the traces left by piles of firecrackers, and the big red couplet attached to the roller shutter door swaggered in the cold wind. Snowflakes are flying all over the sky, and they are so messy that there is no order. It seems that they are the only ones in heaven and earth who are the most comfortable spirits.

Ji Ying finished smoking, patted the snow on his body, and then entered the house in a cold air. After drinking, the owner of the Internet café leaned on the couch on the counter and fell asleep, and there were only a few people in the Internet café, who seemed to be on a business trip and couldn't go home, so he passed the time in the Internet café.

Ji Ying paced in front of his computer, checked his stall, before eating, he had been hanging up and setting up a stall, and now, the goods on the stall bed were sold, and the money bag was full of shiny silver. After counting carefully, it was just 1.2 million taels of snowflake silver.

Ji Ying left some scattered silver on his body, and the rest was all deposited in Chang'an Qianzhuang. At present, his deposit in the bank is 5 million, and according to the current ratio of fantasy coins to RMB, he can also exchange 50 yuan. If you can sell 10 million goods a day, the income is quite considerable. However, it is not easy to get 10 million goods! Even if Ji Ying doesn't eat, drink, or sleep, and is busy in front of the computer 24 hours a day, he can't get much of anything.

Coming out of the money bank, Ji Ying plans to catch ghosts. The ghost catching task gives a lot of money, and for every 10 you catch, you can also get a random ring product from the system. The so-called ring products are some garbage equipment, or some musical instruments or something, these things can't be sold for a few dollars, but the running ring can be used. Ji Ying rarely runs the ring, because the running ring task needs to be completed for four consecutive hours, and it can't be broken in the middle, and if it is broken, it will show that the task has failed. No one can stand four hours of not eating, drinking, or sleeping, so most people don't do this task.

Ji Ying was thinking about going to the palace to find a few people, and then go on a mission together, but just after walking a few steps, suddenly, he felt someone pat on the shoulder.

Ji Ying felt a pang in his heart: Who could it be, he didn't have any friends in the capital.

When he turned around, he searched carefully, but there were no special people behind him except for passers-by. Ji Ying shook his head, and just turned around and wanted to continue walking, only to see a little girl looking at him with wide eyes an inch away from his eyes.

"Hey," Ji Ying unconsciously took half a step back, "Who is this girl, staring at a man so shamelessly." Ji Ying said secretly in his heart.

When he stood firm and looked at it, this girl seemed to look familiar, as if it was ...... Before he could come up with an eyebrow, Li Luo had already opened his mouth and said angrily: "Master, it's me, I see that you are so scared that you can't even recognize me?" ”

"Oh, who am I?" Ji Ying smiled, and a serious expression appeared on his face, "Why don't you go to level up well, what are you wandering around the street?" The moment he just met Liluo, Ji Ying thought that he had met Lin Shu, but fortunately it wasn't her, otherwise, she would have to fight with Ji Ying again. Although she has now become a relative to her senior brother and her life is peaceful, in Lin Shu's heart, she has not completely forgotten the past hatred, and from the way she usually looks at Ji Ying, she knows that the account between them is not over.

In order not to get into trouble, Ji Ying ran as far as he could. Taking advantage of the retreat and cultivation of the Bodhi Ancestor, he sneaked down the mountain and came to this bustling and lively capital.

"My level is low, no one likes to take me to practice, Master, when do you have time, can you take me to practice?" Liluo pouted, looking pitiful.

Ji Ying thought to himself, since he accepted this apprentice, he, who is a master, doesn't seem to have done anything for her except for giving some money to others, and it seems that he is a little unqualified to be a master. Anyway, today's New Year, his customers have gone home to reunite with their families, and they haven't assigned him any leveling tasks, so they just have nothing to do, so let's take her to catch ghosts together, and let her have some knowledge.

Thinking of this, Ji Ying said: "I just have time today, so I'll take you to catch ghosts." ”

"Catching ghosts?" Liluo was overjoyed, this is a good opportunity to make money with both experience and money, I remember that I spent money with others to catch ghosts before, but before I caught 10, the captain ran away. Not to mention the loss of her blood, she also lost a lot of double time. It was all an experience she treasured! It's gone, and it's distressing to think about it.

This time the master took her to catch ghosts, she could raise her eyebrows, thinking that the people in the team were all high-level uncles and aunts, only she was a little tender grass who had not yet been released, she could get a lot of money and experience without using a finger, but the others could only stare dryly, it was really happy to think about it.

"Okay, okay, I like to catch ghosts." Liluo clapped his hands happily.

It didn't take much effort to form a ghost team, and it didn't take a few minutes for everyone to get together. The current composition of the team is: one Tang warrior, one monk of Huasheng Temple, one Tiangong warrior, plus two of their masters and apprentices, just a five-person non-superb ghost team.

After opening double the time and signing the contract, Ji Ying took his apprentices and the rest of the people to Zhong Kui to receive the task of catching ghosts.

Zhong Kui was originally a native of Zhongnan Mountain, and since he was a child, he has cultivated both civil and military skills, and he has excelled in all aspects of literature and martial arts, and he was admitted to the position of Jinshi at the age of seventeen. Just because of his strange appearance: leopard head and ringed eyes, beard and iron face, the emperor did not hire him. Zhong Kui had a strong temperament, and as soon as he heard that the emperor didn't need him, it was a pity that his talent was useless, and it was not interesting to live, so he crashed to death on the steps of the palace hall.

After Zhong Kui's death, the emperor had remorse and ordered him to be buried with the honor of the champion.

When Zhong Kui's soul arrived in the underworld, the king of Jizo consulted the book of life and death, and remembered that this person was full of wealth, talent, and uprightness, and was not afraid of evil, so he decided to entrust him with a heavy responsibility.

"Since Qin unified the six countries, I thought that the world was peaceful, and the people no longer suffered from war. But who knew that Qin Shi Huang was tyrannical and expropriated, which made the people miserable, so he rose up and the Three Kingdoms were formed. Later, after the collapse of the Wei and Jin dynasties and the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the people of the Central Plains suffered from displacement, freezing and starving to death countless times. ”

After the Sui Dynasty, the situation did not improve, Emperor Yang blindly immersed himself in the sound of dogs and horses, the affairs of the government and the opposition never asked, the suffering of the people could not be ignored, those who starved to death, were buried alive, and even were eaten by the same kind, innumerable. The people have no way to live, and the gas of this dynasty is exhausted. After the Tang Dynasty won the world, because he learned the lessons of the destruction of the previous dynasty, he was diligent in government and loved the people, and blessed the Quartet, which was the blessing of the people and the blessing of the people in the world. ”

"It's just that the soldiers who died in the war, because they were dissatisfied with the suffering of military service, the hard labor who were buried alive, because of the pain of dissatisfaction with labor, the women and children who were frozen to death and starved to death, and because of the suffering of the emperor's extravagance, all turned into ghosts, and they had nothing to do to wander around the world, causing a lot of trouble. Now the king wants to make you a four-grade judge, responsible for catching ghosts, are you willing? King Jizo made a generous statement, and finally it came to the point of appointment.
