Soul lamp, also known as soul lamp.

According to legend, during the period of the Three Kingdoms, Zhuge Liang was sick in Wuzhang Yuan, in order to protect the Han Dynasty, to renew his life to the sky, he laid a soul-attracting lamp in the big tent, seven life-sustaining lamps, and found the most famous local wizard in Bashu to guard a total of 49 soul-keeping lamps for him. I never thought that this person was not as good as heaven, and this method of continuing life was broken.

After Zhuge Liang died, those wizards also scattered, and some of them wrote down this method of using the soul-attracting lamp to continue their lives, and taught it to future generations. It's just that time is in a hurry, and this method of using the soul-attracting lamp to continue life has gradually evolved into other ways, which is probably the result that Zhuge Liang did not expect back then.

Torture and Humiliation stared at the two fingers of the ghost and asked, "One of them, but Lihua of the Sheng family?" ”

"Exactly."

"And who is the other one? Could it be Duan Niang? ”

The ghost shook his head and set his eyes on Xing Ruyi's body.

"What do you mean...... I? ”

"It's you, my lord."

"I haven't carefully calculated my life, and I can't imagine that I am also born in the lunar month."

"This person can draw souls and lock souls, which means that he still has some Taoism. If you are small, please be careful. ”

"Have you seen this person?"

"The little one only knows that he is in the Wang family." The ghost cha glanced at Xing Ruyi: "The rest of the things, please forgive the adults for not saying more." ”

Xing Ruyi waved his hand, and the ghost cha turned into a wisp of black smoke and disappeared.

The shopkeeper leaned on the pillar in front of the inn, watching the sky getting darker and darker, and his expression became more and more eager. Every now and then, look up at the left and right sides of the street. When he saw the familiar shadow, he actually raised his hand and rubbed his eyes, and when he was sure that it was Xing Ruyi who came back, he hurriedly greeted him.

"Madame, you're back."

"Something?"

"Yes! The shopkeeper is here! ”

"Okay, I got it." Xing Ruyi responded and asked, "Are Master Sheng and Mrs. Sheng back?" ”

"Back to Madame's words, no."

"No?" Xing Ruyi glanced at the sky, lest something happen to Xiao Shengzi and Duan Niang.

"But a girl from the Sheng family came back, took some things with her, and asked the little one to pass on to your wife."

"What?"

"Master Sheng and Mrs. Sheng moved to the post station in Yong'an to live, saying that they were for Mrs. You. Master Sheng also said that he also reserved a room for his wife in the post station. If the lady is not comfortable staying at this inn, she can also move there. All the items have been sorted out for you, and they are all arranged according to the previous habits of the lady. ”

"I see."

Xing Ruyi said, lifted the corner of his skirt, and stepped up the steps.

"Other than these, does Master Sheng have anything else left?"

"Not really. Oh, and there is another sentence that says that if Madame refuses to move to the inn, he will find another time to visit Madame. The shopkeeper said, raising his head: "Madam, do you want to move to the post station?" ”

"I live well in this inn, why do I have to move to the inn. You just said that the shopkeeper is here? ”

"Yes, I've been waiting for almost an afternoon. If the lady doesn't come back, eighty percent of the shopkeepers will think that I am talking nonsense to him, and I will be beaten up when the time comes. ”

"I was going to buy this inn, and you told him about it?"

"Yes, all of them. Including the fact that Mrs. wanted to go to the Wang family to invite the master to do things for Mrs. Sheng, the little one had already told the shopkeeper in advance. ”

"I'm sorry for you."

"It's all small things that should be done. Madame, please, the shopkeeper is inside. ”

The shopkeeper of this inn had met Xing Ruyi twice before, but every time they met, he frowned and seemed a little worried. Now, the eyebrows are finally stretched.

"Mrs. Yin!" The shopkeeper gave a big gift: "Madame wants to buy this inn, and the young man has already told me." Madame, don't worry, I know what my inn looks like, and I will never talk to Madame. This is the title deed of the store, this is a detailed list of all the items in the store at present, please look at the lady. ”

"No need, Ruyi can trust you. Please tell the shopkeeper a number. ”

"This ......" The shopkeeper glanced at the shopkeeper with some embarrassment.

"Since the shopkeeper is reluctant to say it, then Ruyi will say it." Xing Ruyi dipped his fingers in the tea and drew a number on the table: "Does the shopkeeper think my price is fair?" ”

"It's high, it's high, my inn isn't worth the money." The shopkeeper waved his hand again and again: "Although my place is not small, the feng shui is not good." Since the opening of Zhang, this business has been getting worse day by day, and there have been no guests for a long time before you come, Madame. Madame is willing to take over, I am already grateful, and I can still let Madame ...... you."

"The shopkeeper is a kind person, and it is worth all this silver for your kindness." Xing Ruyi wiped off the tea: "When you go out, you don't have so much cash on your body, is the silver ticket okay?" ”

"Okay, all right. With so much silver, my wife just has cash to give me, and I don't have the courage to carry it out of the door. Recently, our Yong'an City has not been peaceful. Silver tickets are the best, easy to carry, and safer. ”

"Ruyi can take the liberty of asking. What else does the shopkeeper have to do after selling this inn? ”

"Plans? What can I do? The shopkeeper showed a wry smile: "Don't hide it from Madame, I also did other business before opening this inn." But whether it's a big deal or a small deal, it hasn't been done. Later, when I heard that it was easy to open an inn, I took out all my savings and bought the inn without telling my wife. Who knows, the ending is exactly the same.

Perhaps, what my wife said is right, I am born with no financial luck, and I can't be a boss. I, I still listen to my wife, go to the countryside to buy a house, buy a few acres of land, and An Ansheng will live the rest of his life. ”

"The shopkeeper knows how to farm?"

The shopkeeper asked coldly.

"I was also a country boy, and then I wanted to live a good life in the city, so I left my hometown and came to Yong'an. Later, I met my wife. At first, I also tossed some money in my hand, but I tossed and tossed, and I almost lost it. ”

"Would you like to go back to the countryside with you?"

If she had a choice, she was naturally unwilling. But she knew my temperament, and was worried that I would not be able to resist tossing if I stayed in the city, so it was better to go back to the countryside with me to suffer. At the very least, I can leave some savings for my two sons who are not in contention. ”

"What if Ruyi wants to ask the shopkeeper to stay?"

"Stay?" The shopkeeper blinked: "I don't quite understand what you mean by this, madam." ”

"I have taken this inn and have no extra mind to take care of it. I saw that the shopkeeper was a kind person, and the second brother was quite clever, so I wanted to ask the two of them to stay and help take care of it. You are still the shopkeeper, but you no longer earn the money of the guest, but my money. I am the treasurer, and I will pay you. How is it? ”

"Pay?"

"That's right! You help me take care of this shop, and I pay for you, and we are in an employment relationship. The shopkeeper is a professional manager I invited, and the second brother is still the same as before. Of course, if business is good in the future, you can also invite two more people, and when the time comes, you can just watch them. ”

"Job...... What's the job? The shopkeeper stammered and asked the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper touched his head, then shook it gently.

"It's just a name, it doesn't matter." Xing Ruyi said, his fingers dipped in tea and wrote two numbers on the table. "This is the salary for the second brother. This one is for the shopkeeper. You two can take a look, are you satisfied? ”

"This ...... That's too much, right? ”

The shopkeeper swallowed his saliva and stammered, "Madam, did you make a mistake?" ”

"That's too much? It's just part of it, and I call it the basic wage. If business is good, I will give dividends to the other two. If it's not good, this loss is also mine. How is it? ”

"Isn't that lady going to lose a lot?"

"When I write these two numbers, it shows that I am confident that I can definitely make money. It's just that there are some ugly things that I have to say first. The shopkeeper is still the shopkeeper, the second brother is still the second brother, but if I take advantage of my absence, I will be tired of anything, and the employment relationship between us will be over. ”

"No, no, we definitely won't."

The shopkeeper waved his hand again and again: "The salary given by Madame is not even the richest Wang family in Yong'an City." The small one and the shopkeeper are definitely in peace, and they wholeheartedly help Mrs. take care of this inn. ”

"It's not an inn, it's something else." Xing Ruyi looked around at the decoration in the inn: "Later, when my husband comes back, we will talk about these in detail." ”

"Okay, okay." The shopkeeper nodded with the shopkeeper.

"Ruyi, there is one more thing here that I want to trouble the shopkeeper." Xing Ruyi gave the shopkeeper a look, and the shopkeeper hurriedly said: "The shopkeeper is the one that the little one told you before." Madame bought our inn, and was willing to let us stay here, and gave us such a high salary. In the matter of the second lady of the Sheng family, you must also help a group of ladies in the shopkeeper. ”

"I don't need to ask my wife to do this, I will help with it." The shopkeeper got up and arched his hand: "Tomorrow morning, I will go to Wang's house." Madame, don't worry, I have always had a good relationship with the master of the Wang family, and this matter should not be difficult to do. ”

"The master who lives in the Wang family, have you ever seen the shopkeeper?"

"I've seen it once, but I don't dare to take a closer look."

"But a young, bookish man?"

"Although he looks like a Dao bone fairy, he shouldn't be young." The shopkeeper carefully recalled: "That day, I went to Wang's house to do errands and took a look at it from a distance. His hair was white, his beard was white, and he was dressed in a white garment. The person is very thin, and when he looks at it from a distance, he really looks like a fairy coming down from a painting. ”

"What was that master doing at the time?"

"Nope! He's waiting for someone. ”

"Wait for someone?"

"Wait for the second lady of the Wang family." The shopkeeper said, and added: "The affairs in the Wang family's house are all handled by this second lady." At that time, the affairs of the new aunt of the Wang family had not been properly handled, so the second lady was often with the master. Not alone, though. ”
