Chapter 33: Ordinary Life
"Whew! It's tiring! ”
Gao Chen lit the soul offering incense on the last incense burner and let out a heartfelt sigh.
Tonight's Shang'er Residence can be described as "full of guests and friends", Gao Chen just opened for a long time, there were groups of three or five ghosts to stay in the hotel, every time a group of "guests" came, he had to go upstairs to help light the soul incense, over and over again nearly a hundred times.
It wasn't until all the "beds" were inhabited by ghosts that Gao Chen breathed a sigh of relief, although the second floor was not high, it couldn't withstand so many tosses!
At this moment, there was a strange picture in the room, the gas produced by burning the incense for the soul did not dissipate in the air, all condensed above the incense burner, an incense burner was crowned with a cloud of mist, and occasionally a trace of gas was sucked into the incense burner, followed by a comfortable moan.
Gao Chen stroked the dead jade wrench on his thumb, and looked at the scene in the house with satisfaction, he received a lot of goods this night, and the variegated dead jade wrench had turned black as ink.
This is Gao Chen's use of the characteristics of the dead jade wrench to store the yin qi paid by the "tenants", and when he is free, he will refine these fair-traded yin qi into yin spirit beads, and then sell them for money, a very perfect set of processes.
Dead jade refers to the ore with mixed colors and a large number of impurities, strictly speaking, it is not a real jade, it belongs to the jade slag waste stone and the like, in the eyes of ordinary people, it is similar to the stone on the side of the road, and it is worthless existence, but it can be turned into treasure in the hands of practitioners, and it is a high-grade container specially used to load things to the yin.
The ancients said: Dead jade contains ghosts, and the color is black and ghostly, this sentence probably says: The darker the color of the dead jade containing ghosts, the more powerful the yin it contains, and the more yin energy will be strong.
And the dead jade wrench that Gao Chen picked up from the stall fully confirmed this ancient saying - after absorbing a large amount of yin qi, the wrench really became swarthy.
Back in front of the bar, Gao Chen turned off the power of the LED light box and instructed Bai Ling to send away the lonely ghosts outside who didn't live in the children's house.
Ignoring the complaining expressions of the ghosts through the doors and windows, Gao Chen sat on the sofa thinking about things by himself, he had to smooth out the doubts in his mind, so as not to have too many dreams at night, and then breed demons in his heart, affecting his own cultivation.
Gao Chen carefully sorted out the strange things that had happened recently, first, what did Master Jueyuan and the Yin Cha say? can make the tough attitude of the yin make a regression;
second, what secrets are involved in the living dead, and why has the underworld strangled the living dead for thousands of years with the idea of preferring to kill the wrong ones;
Third, can he protect Lao Zhang with his current cultivation?
Fourth, who is that mysterious Taoist? can retain his own image in the consciousness of others, at least he must be a figure at the level of an earth immortal.
After listing a few major issues, Gao Chen's thinking is much clearer, and in the days to come, he will pay more attention to the relevant clues about these problems, and strive to get the truth of the matter as soon as possible.
"Shop, shopkeeper, guests are here, go and receive them!"
When Bai Ling sent out a reminder, a man and a woman walked into the children's house together, and they looked like college students had run out to "steal food".
"Wow! This small hotel has a good environment! What kind of incense is ordered? It smells so good! ”
The girl who came in first shouted praise.
"Welcome, our store has just opened, the price is very cheap, to ensure that you live comfortably!"
Facing the first living guest of the children's residence, Gao Chen introduced it decently, he felt a little funny, on the one hand, there were lonely ghosts with insufficient housing, and on the other hand, there were few ordinary guest rooms, and the two formed a sharp contrast.
"Boss, open a high-end room and get a few more drinks."
In order to please the girl, the accompanying male companion commanded Gao Chen heroically.
As a result, before Gao Chen could answer, the girl denied the male partner's request, and she insisted on opening two ordinary guest rooms and living in separate rooms.
If it were another innkeeper, he would definitely say that there was only one room at this time, in order to satisfy the male companion's dirty thoughts, but Gao Chen would not do this, he honestly led the two of them to see the single room, completely ignoring the male companion's angry little eyes.
On the way to arrange accommodation for the two, there was another episode, the girl kept praising Gao Chen's handsome and good figure, and she didn't notice that her male partner's face was about to twist together.
Gao Chen accepted the praise with a smile on the surface, but he was happy in his heart not to want it, after living for more than 20 years, it was the first time that someone of the opposite sex praised him for being handsome, could he not be happy?
A little fluttering Gao Chen didn't forget to get serious, he raised his hand and snapped his fingers, and whispered into the air: "There are living people living in the hotel tonight, and they all stay in the incense burner honestly, who dares to act recklessly, I will spend a good time with him!" ”
The incense burners placed on the second floor trembled in unison, as if they were responding to Gao Chen's warning.
There was nothing to say all night, and the next day, the little mandarin duck who had withdrawn from the room kept praising the good accommodation conditions of the child's house, and even the male companion who did not succeed in his selfish desires threw away his resentment, because they rested very comfortably last night, completely emptied their brains, and fell into a deep sleep.
Gao Chen smiled and said nothing, watching the two leave, the soul incense he made added a lot of Chinese medicinal materials, not only for the yin souls who smoke incense, but also for the living to calm the mind and help sleep, body and mind relaxation, the same as the medicinal function of the tranquilizer, and there are no side effects.
A good start will always make people feel happy, Gao Chen cleaned up the room, closed the door of the store, and went back to the bedroom to meditate.
In the following period, Gao Chen lived a very fulfilling life, such as increasing the number of incense burners, purchasing materials for soul incense, and even adding a computer, so that when he had nothing to do at night, he could browse the Chongqing City Anecdotes and Visions Network, searching for where there were ghosts and monsters, and he could solve them.
Time passed in the ordinary life, this night, Gao Chen was busy with all the "tenants", and secretly looked at Bai Ling, don't get me wrong, he is not ill-intentioned towards Bai Ling, but is ready to train an assistant to complete the boring work of lighting incense every day for him.
"Bai Ling, do you want to get more commissions?"
"Ahh Didn't you say that you would be rewarded according to the number of people staying in the hotel? Do you want to change the store? ”
Bai Ling heard Gao Chen's question, and asked worriedly, although she had seen some Taoist people in the hundreds of years since she died, none of them could compare to the young shopkeeper in front of her, and she couldn't see how strong the other party was, in short, it made her more afraid.
"Huh! That can't be, I'm saying I want you to help me light the soul incense! Save me running back and forth, it's too troublesome! ”
Gao Chen was afraid that Bai Ling would be crooked, so he corrected his statement in time, now he is such a helper, he has to coax well, don't scare people away.
"Shop, the soul incense is all specially made, how can I light it directly? You don't bring such a bully to the store! ”
Bai Ling's eyes were a little red and she said, she thought that Gao Chen was humiliating her, knowing that the ghost's body could not touch the things of Zhengyang, but she had to light the soul offering incense that was blocked by chicken blood.
Gao Chen's explanation might as well not be said, this time it was counterproductive, looking at Bai Ling, who was crying, he was at a loss, and finally made many conditions to make Bai Ling burst into tears, and at the same time clarified the way that Bai Ling could contact pure yang things.
"Shopkeeper, can you really help me change my physique?"
"It should be no problem, my cultivation is not enough, I can only turn one of your hands into a spirit for the time being!"
Gao Chen smoked a cigarette and said, his plan is to change the Bai Ling Yin attribute physique and make it a non-yin physique, and the method of changing the physique is clearly recorded in the Ten Rounds Sutra, which is not too difficult and worth a try.
With Bai Ling's consent, Gao Chen immediately locked the door of Xiao Erju and closed the business, and pulled Bai Ling to run to the bedroom.
Is it really that simple to change the constitution of a Yin Spirit? The answer is impossible, Gao Chen impulsively caused himself a lot of trouble......
