The director of the funeral home is surnamed Chen, and he is a well-dressed fat man with a big belly.

When Li Changsheng saw Director Chen, he was sitting on the boss's chair in his office, with Erlang's legs crossed.

Seeing Secretary Zhang come in with Li Changsheng, Director Chen just put down his crossed Erlang's legs, smiled slightly, and said, "Coming?" ”

Secretary Zhang hurriedly nodded and said, "Curator, this is the Taoist priest recommended by the village chief of Nanping Village, called Li Changsheng." ”

"Li Changsheng?" Curator Chen narrowed his eyes, looked at Li Changsheng, and said with a smile: "Not bad...... Not bad...... Young and promising, the people recommended by the head of Nanping Village are more or less worthy of trust than those Taoist priests we invited from outside. ”

Secretary Zhang nodded with a smile and said, "This Brother Li, I want to know about the situation in the funeral home, so I brought him to ask you." ”

"Hmm!" Curator Chen nodded, took out a cigarette from the drawer, and distributed it to Secretary Zhang and Li Changsheng.

Li Changsheng waved his hand and signaled that he would not smoke.

Curator Chen didn't say much, picked up a cigarette, lit it, and after spitting out the cigarette, he said slowly: "Brother Li, if you have any questions to ask, even if you say that you are here to help us solve the problem, we will try our best to cooperate with your work." ”

Li Changsheng smiled slightly and said, "Since that's the case, then I'll say it directly." ”

"Say it!"

Li Changsheng said: "On the way, I heard a lot from Secretary Zhang, saying that it has been a few years since the funeral home was built, and there has been no accident before, right?" ”

Curator Chen nodded and said, "That's right! That's right! When the funeral parlor was just built, the business was very good, you know, although Qingshui Town is a small town, but within a radius of 100 miles, there are many villages and the like, and many people are now enlightened, cremated after death, saving land resources, and actively responding to the call of the country, but later, ...... The funeral parlor died inexplicably, and after the haunted incident spread, the villagers did not dare to come here to burn the corpses, and the business was getting worse and worse. ”

As soon as Director Chen spoke, he talked a lot about business issues.

For him, the business of the funeral home is a big deal, on the contrary, it is a haunted thing, but it is not important, if it is not because the haunted thing has affected the business of the funeral home, I am afraid that this Director Chen is too lazy to take care of it.

Li Changsheng frowned slightly, and said: "Director Chen, what you said, I have also heard of it, this funeral parlor is a place where corpses are burned, and the yin qi gathers relatively heavily, and many corpses are transported, so they can't be burned on the same day, they will choose a good day, and then put the corpses in the cold storage, right?" ”

Director Chen nodded and said: "Yes, in the past, at night in the funeral home, only one night watchman was needed, but now it has been increased to three people, Brother Li, you also know, invite one more person, this expense will be one more point, but if only one night watchman is invited, but no one is willing to do this work, now the funeral home business is so bad, invite three night watchmen, this burden is not small." ”

Li Changsheng smiled slightly and said: "Director Chen, it stands to reason that even if there is a haunted incident in the funeral home, generally speaking, no one will die, because ghosts are also measured and will not hurt people at will, unless it is some unjust ghosts or powerful ghosts, they will make frequent trouble, does Director Chen know that there are any unjust souls in the funeral home?" ”

"Wronged souls?" When Director Chen heard this, he was also stunned.

Li Changsheng obviously saw that Director Chen's expression had changed a little.

After a long pause, I saw Director Chen smile slightly and said, "Where will there be unjust souls?" Our funeral parlor is doing the business of the dead, and after the death of the person, it will be sent here, how can there be a wronged soul? Brother Li must have been overwhelmed. ”

Li Changsheng nodded slightly and did not speak.

Director Chen was obviously the same as Secretary Zhang, and he was reluctant to say anything. But the more they looked like this, the more Li Changsheng felt that something was wrong.

At this time, Secretary Zhang interjected: "Brother Li, we invite you to come, it is to solve the problem, since you are a Taoist priest, there must be a set of methods for you to find ghosts, you use your method to help our funeral home find out the problem, and then solve it, you can rest assured, we will not give less to the honorarium." ”

Director Chen also nodded at this time and said, "Yes, Brother Li, if you can help us solve this matter, I promise to give you a reward of 50,000 yuan." ”

Secretary Zhang listened, and his eyes sparkled.

50,000 yuan, in those days, was a lot of money.

Li Changsheng smiled faintly and said, "You guys take me to see all the places in the funeral home first!" ”

"Okay, okay, you come with me." As soon as Curator Chen finished speaking, he stood up and walked outside.

Secretary Zhang and Li Changsheng followed Director Chen.

The group then came to a garden.

The garden is not too big, but it is not small, and there are dozens of trees in the garden.

Director Chen pointed with his hand and said: "This garden is the backyard of the funeral home, on weekdays, those family members who come to the funeral home to burn the corpse will gather here to wait, and after the body is sent to the crematorium to be burned, we will send the ashes here to them." ”

Li Changsheng nodded, but he frowned, and said, "Director Chen, how can it be a locust tree planted in your garden?" ”

Curator Chen smiled and said, "The locust tree is good! The locust tree is huge! The foliage is lush, but also shady, suitable for shading the sun, on weekdays here is a lot of people, we planted locust trees in the garden, it is also convenient for people to rest. ”

Li Changsheng patted his thigh and said, "Where is the right place to plant locust trees?" It's a big no-no......"

"Big taboo?" Secretary Zhang and Director Chen were stunned when they heard this.

Li Changsheng said: "You look at the word 'locust' on the locust tree, next to the wooden word is the word 'ghost', the funeral home is planted with a locust tree, and those dead ghosts also like to attach themselves to this locust tree, so that there are more and more ghosts gathered in the funeral home?" ”

After hearing this, Director Chen and Secretary Zhang were stunned.

Director Chen's eyes widened and he said, "Is there still such a statement? ”

"Absolutely." Li Changsheng continued: "From the perspective of feng shui, the funeral home should be planted with pines and cypresses, pines and cypresses belong to yang, just enough to restrain the yin of the funeral home itself, and the locust tree belongs to the yin, but it is also the favorite plant of ghosts, there is a saying 'one locust tree ten ghosts', this is the truth, the funeral home must not plant locust trees." ”

"So that's ......" Director Chen looked suddenly enlightened, and shouted: "Cut it down, I'll let people come tomorrow and cut down all these locust trees, no wonder...... I said that the more lush the locust trees in this garden, the worse the business of my funeral parlor, it turns out that ghosts are gathered in my garden......"

Li Changsheng nodded and said, "Let's go to the next place to have a look." ”

"Alright, alright, let's go, I'll take you to see the morgue." Director Chen said.
