Chapter 161: The Soul of Mr. Storyteller

"Ah, don't let it out, don't !!" Boss Huo hurriedly waved his hand and said.

"It's done, Boss Huo, don't worry, you take a good shower tonight and sleep peacefully, the big desk will be fine in the future, I'll overtake this spirit in a while, it's okay." Zhou Xiaolong confidently persuaded Boss Huo.

"Oh, thank you, Master Zhou." Boss Huo bowed to Zhou Xiaolong.

"Now that the matter is settled, Boss Huo, even if our transaction is completed, I will send you the bank card number......" Ouyang Lei is more concerned about the reward.

"It's too late now, tomorrow, tomorrow I'll call you two for the money, okay?"

The reason why Boss Huo didn't transfer money in time was that he actually had his own careful thoughts, he wanted to give it a try, if the big desk was really too peaceful tonight, then it was reasonable to pay.

If it doesn't work, Boss Huo will go to these two young theories, and of course the money won't have to be given.

No matter what Boss Huo thought, Zhou Xiaolong was not a fool, he and Ouyang Lei left Boss Huo's antique shop, walked out of the street, found a quiet intersection, and stopped.

Zhou Xiaolong was still holding the small envelope in his hand, looking very careful, Ouyang Lei finally couldn't help but ask: "Master, is that thing really in the envelope?!" ”

"Of course, can I still deceive people?"

"Yes, yes, I didn't mean that, so how do we go over?"

"I'm afraid it's difficult to be excessive......" Zhou Xiaolong frowned.

"Why?" Ouyang Lei asked loudly.

"Because it's a foreign ghost ......," Zhou Xiaolong replied.

"Ah, foreign ghost, Master, are you kidding?" Ouyang Lei didn't believe it at all.

"Just now, I communicated with this spirit, this person, before his death, was a storyteller in the island country, usually when performing, there will be a big desk on the stage, this storyteller, every time he performs, he uses the same desk, and over time, he has a relationship with the big desk...... After the person died, someone sold the desk, and later, somehow came here across the ocean, and was bought by Boss Huo...... A wisp of the storyteller's soul has been left in the desk, reluctant to leave, but it is only a wisp of soul, it is incomplete, and it will not be very powerful, so it was so easily caught by me......"

"I see, but ......"

"But what?"

"However, since you said that the storyteller is a foreign ghost, Master, and you can't speak island dialect, how do you communicate with him?"

"Of course, the spirits do not communicate with each other in the language of ordinary humans, that kind of language, which is called cosmic language in the Xuanmen, and I will only communicate a little, do you understand?"

"Oh, Master, being with your old man is to grow knowledge." Ouyang Lei complimented.

"Now, I'll let the soul of the storyteller go out and let him return to his hometown!"

Zhou Xiaolong opened the envelope and began to recite a soul-sending spell.

Ouyang Lei saw that there was a humanoid black mist, which slowly floated into the air, and when it reached a high altitude, it was blown by the wind above, and it disappeared completely.

"Master, you say, can this foreign ghost go home, after all, it's quite far away from crossing the ocean?"

"You don't have to worry about this, the means of transportation for people and ghosts are different, people need to make cars, planes, and ships to get to the island country, but spirits don't need to, maybe just a moment of thought, it can reach the place you want, but you just need someone with mana to point out the direction, okay, okay, these are not things we should worry about, let's go back to the dormitory and sleep!"

However, after this incident passed, Zhou Xiaolong was also curious, and once he couldn't help but talk to Professor Cui about it.

Professor Cui is knowledgeable, and he told Zhou Xiaolong that the island country also has an art form similar to cross talk, but it is not called storytelling or cross talk, but has its own name.

Generally, stand-up is called "rakugo", and the counterpart is called "mancai".

Mancai, similar to the counterpart we are familiar with, is generally performed by two people, and is known for its humorous language art.

Rakugo, which is more like our stand-up comedy or storytelling, is also one of the traditional forms of music in the island country, and it has also been very popular with the people in the past period.

Professor Choi said that rakugo originated in the Edo period more than 300 years ago, and both the form and content of the performance are very similar to our traditional stand-up comedy.

It is said that many of the passages in rakugo were taken directly from literary works such as "The History of the Imperial Court" and "Strange Tales of Liaosai", which had a deep influence, and after the continuous development of the artist, it became the way rakugo is today.

……

The online store opened, and two cases were handled in a row, and Boss Sun and Boss Huo each gave an honorarium of 5,000 yuan, which together was 10,000 yuan.

The three roommates decided to divide the account into four or six, that is, Zhou Xiaolong divided four thousand, and Ouyang Lei and Qi Dongqiang each divided three thousand.

This is the first big money that Qi Dongqiang has made since he met Zhou Xiaolong, although it is not much, but he is really happy, and his confidence has increased greatly, and he decided to make great efforts to start decorating the store on the online store.

I hope that with more and more positive reviews, the online store can receive larger orders and make more money.

Just when Ouyang Lei and Qi Dongqiang were in full swing to build an online store, Zhou Xiaolong received a phone call, which was from Gu Fang.

Gu Fang rarely called Zhou Xiaolong, there must be something.

Gu Fang told Zhou Xiaolong a piece of news, although it didn't sound special to ordinary people, but when Zhou Xiaolong heard it, he immediately lifted his spirits.

Gu Fang quietly told Zhou Xiaolong that it was Guo Baocheng, that is, that Guo Fatzi, who was going to have a party in one place these days, as if he was going to hold an auction, and only people inside knew about this matter.

Guo Baocheng wants to hold an auction, it doesn't matter, the most important thing is the lot, the lot is very peculiar, it is said that the lot is just a flower seed......

Zhou Xiaolong immediately asked Gu Fang, "Brother Gu, what kind of seed is it, do you know?!" ”

Gu Fang smiled and said: "I don't know this very well, because there is a big age difference between me and Guo Fatzi, I should call him uncle in terms of seniority, there are some words, I am embarrassed to ask directly, but, relying on my connections, I can still get tickets for the auction, I think this should be no problem!" ”

Zhou Xiaolong asked again: "In other words, if I want to go to the auction to have a look, Brother Gu, can you help me get a ticket to the auction, right?" ”

Gu Fang replied affirmatively, "Yes, that's what I meant." ”

Zhou Xiaolong's head was a little messy now, he wanted to think about it carefully, so he said to Gu Fang: "Well, that's good, let me think about it, I'm calling you after thinking about it, thank you, Brother Gu." ”

Gu Fang said, "No problem. ”
