Volume 1: I Am the Heavenly Master Chapter 154 Hardware Store
Five minutes later, we drank Zhuang Yan's tea, and the number of customers in the store gradually decreased. Finally, there was the sound of a rolling shutter door pulling down.
"Master, I've kept you waiting." The boss was embarrassed to wipe his hands with a towel and went inside.
I looked at him, there was nothing wrong with his complexion, there was no trace of evil in the hall, and said, "It's okay to take a break, tell us first, what's the situation?" ”
The boss's name is Lu Zixuan, a native of Xinxing, and the community is his own relocation house. The children are in middle school, and the wife also has a job, so they are thriving and gradually becoming well-off. But since last week, strange noises have been heard from time to time on the second floor of the shop. At first, he thought it was a mouse, so he went to the street and found a stray cat and kept it in the shop.
Later, things were even weirder, the cat somehow squatted somewhere every day, quietly watching the boss's every move. The cat's gaze is very focused, and sometimes it looks at it, and there is a feeling of infiltration, and his wife has been in the store once, and she is scared. So, Lu Zixuan kicked the cat out.
"But it's back?" I digressed.
"Yes, it's upstairs now, and I wanted to go up and get it, but after two attempts, I found that I couldn't get upstairs at all. Every time I got halfway up the stairs, I was so confused that when I woke up, I sat back here. I heard that an old man in the village used to know these things, so I found him and helped me contact you. At this time, the boss sat still, staring blankly ahead.
We followed his gaze and saw a pure black cat standing in the middle of the stairs, staring at us intently.
This is still a cat, this is the soul taking the cat's body and cultivating with animals.
"Wen or Wu?" Zhuang Yan said quietly.
When Zhuang Yan was making tea, she quietly opened her eyes, the technique is very skilled, I didn't feel when she opened it, it seems that the ancestor taught her a lot during this time.
"I don't do it." Zuo Hua is also smart, and we can see it without exposing it.
"Boss, leave this matter to us, and you continue to open the door." I took a sip of tea and praised, "This tea is good!" ”
The boss came to his senses, and after a few 'uh' noises and didn't know what to do, he went outside, opened the roller shutter door, and went about his business.
When the cat saw the boss go out, he seemed to let his guard down, and lazily rolled up in the corner in the middle of the stairs, his eyes still staring at us.
"Don't pretend, you can't hide from the fifteenth year of junior high school. Are you feeling good in there? I stared at the cat and said lightly.
The cat stood up, its eyes seemed to be larger again, and its back arched slightly upward.
"I'm worried, it won't look good if you scratch your face." I had secretly transported my true qi, and the peachwood sword in my cuffs had begun to faintly flicker with my true qi.
"Brother Zuo, if it doesn't want this opportunity, it will surrender by force once it makes a move," I whispered to Zuo Hua again.
"Received, I think it's only two hundred years at most, so it's better to let your apprentice try it." Zuo Hua also understated it, and took a sip of tea with his free hand.
"No problem!" When Zhuang Yan heard this, she immediately took out the peachwood sword in the cuff, and the sword finger in her left hand slid on the sword, and her true qi protruded.
Seeing this, the black cat jumped upstairs and ran upstairs.
"Let's go, let's get to work." I got up and walked upstairs.
When I got to the top of the stairs, I secretly pinched a bag of ashes at the bottom of the pot and said upstairs: "Whatever you are, we can help you, and of course, we can also make your soul fly." If you can show your original form, just wait on the second floor. With that, I moved carefully and slowly went upstairs.
Zhuang Yan took out a small book from her bag, quickly drew two simple charms with a pen, and pasted them on both sides of the staircase.
I couldn't help but stop and take a closer look, it was two Tiangang talismans.
"Yes, there has been progress, but now I think the Soul Fixation Talisman might be more suitable." Because this is a simple talisman, the width of the entrance of the stairway, a Tiangang talisman on one side can't seal the route of the soul's escape. Although there was a mistake in the use, she drew the semi-finished product in advance, and the method of adding a few strokes when needed won my true biography. However, these talismans were also taught by the ancestors, and I only gave her the basic method of drawing talismans.
"It's not a big problem, it's better to have than nothing." Zuo Hua knew how to cheer up solemnity.
I continued to walk upstairs, thinking to myself why Zuo Hua didn't come to the front, his martial arts were so high. Maybe he wanted to see how I could persuade the soul, so he kept shrinking to the end.
It seems that the few words before I went upstairs had an effect, and the soul was attacked by the body of a useless cat, and the black cat was already lying quietly on the ground, out of good spirits, and there was no hostility in its eyes.
"It's good, heaven and hell are actually very close. You are out of the cat, which means that you still have a trace of kindness, why don't we talk about it? Don't worry, although we are both civil and military, I have long been accustomed to saluting first and then soldiering. I continued, slowly walking upstairs.
"Thank you for the kindness of the master, but if I surrender easily, I will inevitably seem frivolous. Giggle......"
A female voice came down, but she couldn't hear whether she wanted us to send her away or if she wanted to be gone! Especially the last laugh, I listened to it with some caution.
"You don't need to surrender, we can naturally send you away. It's just that now you still have a choice, do you want to return to the spirit world normally, or do you want to disappear forever? I took a firm tone and was about to go up to the second floor.
"Don't! Don't come up, I'll call someone if you come up again. The female soul exclaimed.
"If you don't come up, how can I send you away? Whatever you choose, you must disappear from the world today. If there is a grievance, I will give you half a pillar of incense time, any more, it will be out of order. When I said this, I had already entered the room on the second floor, with Zhuang Yan and Zuo Hua following behind. Half a pillar of incense, it stands to reason that it will take about thirty minutes, and I will confide in her about the world, and she will be more receptive to the natural way of returning to the spiritual world.
The second floor is huge, but there is a lot of clutter, which should be the owner's warehouse. In the past few days, they can't even go up to the second floor, which naturally affects a lot of business. The female soul trembled and hid behind the shelves, looking at us through the gap between the cardboard box and the iron shelf. I stopped, looked at the female soul and said, "Tell me, what do you miss about the world?" Also, how is the cat? ”
"The cat is fine... Just ......"
"Don't worry, think about it and tell me. Although the mission of the Celestial Master is to drive you away, there are two ways to drive you away, and as for which one you want, you can choose after speaking. ”
I know that she can't conjure into an entity yet, so there is a big gap between her strength and Yao, so Zuo Hua's estimate of a maximum of two hundred years is accurate. The souls of the two sides, if Zhuang Yan is fully prepared, no matter how martial arts can send her away.
After waiting for a few minutes, seeing that she didn't speak, I continued: "If you feel that it is difficult to speak, I also brought a female heavenly master, can you talk to her?" ”
"Okay!" The female soul seems to have waited for this sentence for a long time.
I turned around and confessed to Zhuang Yan, stay vigilant, and prevent the female soul from running wild, with her strength, she is a big cut behind you. The voice was not small, and Zhuang Yan and the female soul could hear it clearly.
"Okay, I got it." After Zhuang Yan finished speaking, the peachwood sword continued to maintain a state full of true qi.
"Thirty minutes, if she can't make a decision, we'll come up." As I spoke, I led Zuo Hua downstairs. When I passed by the black cat, I picked it up, and it was soft, as if it had lost any energy, but fortunately it was alive.
Zuo Hua and I returned to the coffee table and continued to drink tea.
Because there were no customers in front, Lu Ziming came in and saw me holding a cat in his arms, looking at me with some concern.
"It's okay, it's out, this cat is now harmless to humans and animals."
"Who's out?"
"Unclean stuff, still upstairs. But don't worry, we'll leave it in thirty minutes, or...... Send it away. Zuo Hua said on his own.
"Oh, that's great, so I can go upstairs and get the goods tomorrow?" Lu Ziming was still a little afraid of cats, and sat sideways on the small square bench opposite us.
"It's hard to say, if the reason for the soul stay is related to you, sometimes we don't care about this evil spirit. As the saying goes, there is a wrong, and there is a debtor. There are some grievances, and you can't just let them go. I said lightly, in fact, this is the key. What Zuo Hua said just now still hasn't left Wu Tianshi's style of acting. And I'm a little different, although I don't hate the rich, but I hope that this kind of natural millionaire can have more blood. Naturally, they don't care too much about money that comes too easily, so I found some reason to dig a hole.
"Oh! But I didn't do anything bad, and I don't know how it came about. Lu Ziming looked innocent.
"It's not a big question, my apprentice is asking for you. We'll find out what the situation is in a moment. If you want to have a business, you can go and do it, we don't have any problems here for the time being...... Do you still have questions? "I don't think he meant to go.
"I ......"
"If you have something to say, don't be like a."
"I'd like to ask...... Well...... The original six hundred, is it six hundred for each of the three heavenly masters? Lu Ziming slurred and said his concerns.
"No, it costs six hundred. There are three here today, which are exchanges between our peers, and have nothing to do with the cost. "I'm busy picking up the conversation, I'm afraid that Zuo Hua will think that this is Wen Tianshi's way of making money, and what kind of moth will he provoke.
"Okay, okay, thank you, thank you." After Lu Ziming finished speaking, someone in the store called the boss, so he went back outside.
Zuo Hua found a lot of questions in Zhuang Yan's body, and I answered them one by one what I could say, as for wanting to move to Xincun, I kept finding reasons to prevaricate. This squinting colleague is going to move over, didn't I lure the wolf into the room......
I had to list the inconveniences of Xincun in an all-round way, "In Xincun, not to mention the high rent, the traffic is still extremely unchanged, do you know how far I have to go to the train station?" ”
"How far?" Zuo Hua drove without hitting the south wall and not looking back.
I was stunned for a few tens of seconds, "Far away!" ”
Zuo Hua smiled knowingly, he probably saw that my heart was a little sour, and he didn't continue to ask. At the top of the stairs, there was the sound of Zhuang Yan's footsteps coming downstairs, and I hurriedly stood up to meet him.
"Well, it's not difficult!"
Zhuang Yan didn't say a word, returned to the sofa and sat down, looked outside the store, and said softly: "This boss has a problem." ”
"What's the problem? What about the soul? ”
"I'll take care of it for a few days, you can settle the bill first, go home and wait for things to be figured out, you decide what to do." Zhuang Yan put down the teacup and stood up, the meaning couldn't be clearer, we can go.
Zuo Hua looked at Zhuang Yan and then at me, he probably didn't understand, why didn't we send the soul away? Instead, it is to be taken in temporarily.
"Brother Zuo, you go collect the money first! Tell him it's done. But...... If you want to cure both the symptoms and the root causes, you still need to find it yourself, why do you want to attract evil spirits? Zhuang Yan saw his doubts and explained.
