Chapter Twenty-One: Encountering the Declining "God"
The idea of opening a hotel came from Gao Chen's whim, because Di had explained to him that most of the yin souls that stayed in the yang world belonged to the living souls, which could produce yin qi and enter reincarnation at any time; Only a small number of them will become dead souls who are unable to produce yin energy, and since the underworld does not accept the king of Hades, they will either wait for the yin energy to be exhausted and disappear between heaven and earth, or forcibly deprive others of their lives and rely on resentment to maintain their own bodies.
Therefore, Gao Chen made the idea of living souls, he was ready to provide paid services for these wandering living souls, using incense and a place to stay in exchange for a trace of yin qi on the living souls, and when he accumulated enough, he could refine the Yin Spirit Beads, and then sell them to maintain his own living expenses.
"Brother Chen, hurry up and wash up, breakfast is ready, and I will go to the countryside to attend the wedding after eating in a while!"
Before dawn, Li Tianyu's shout sounded in the villa, and at the same time, Gao Chen, who was in retreat, woke up.
"This little rabbit cub is really full of spirit! If it was me before, I might not even be able to catch up with half of him. ”
Gao Chen laughed at himself, and then cleaned up his hygiene in an orderly manner, ready to welcome the new day with a full attitude.
Gao Chen's life was quite comfortable for a while, because he had not yet chosen a good location, so he still lived in the Li family's villa, and walked around with Li Tianyu during the day to learn more about Chongqing City; In the evenings, they dive in the bedroom; In this way, not only is there food provided, but even the house is cleaned by a special person.
The only thing that made Gao Chen feel helpless was that the servants of the Li family would always find various reasons to enter his room recently, and they also said that they should always ensure that the house was clean and tidy, and they couldn't get rid of them if they wanted to.
For this matter, Gao Chen probably knew the reason, because he had recently experienced several actual battles, coupled with his own continuous cultivation, he vaguely broke through the cultivation of the middle stage of the relics, which caused him to inadvertently emit a faint sandalwood fragrance when he meditated, if ordinary people smell it, it can have the effect of calming the nerves and helping them sleep.
Although Gao Chen didn't like to be disturbed, he couldn't be so unsentimental, so he had the attitude of accumulating good fortune and let the servants come and go at will.
Wangjia Village is a small village on the edge of Qijiang District, Chongqing City, named after the majority of the village's surnames Wang, and Gao Chen and Li Tianyu are driving towards it.
"Brother, I've said hello to my classmate, I'll live with him tonight, the rural cave house is a lively thing, you can try it then!"
Li Tianyu explained excitedly while driving.
"Driving honestly, it's still an old habit, I'll walk around by myself when I get to the ground, it's your business to play what you want, I won't participate."
Gao Chen replied boringly.
Li Tianyu, who was eating bullshit one by one, grimaced at Gao Chen and continued to talk about the fun of participating in a rural wedding, not paying any attention to Gao Chen's impatience.
"Whew!"
Take a long breath, endure the noisy morning, and finally arrive at the destination before noon, get off the bus and light a cigarette and start looking at this Wangjia Village.
The village is not big, you can see the end at a glance, there are three or four hundred households, all of them are small bungalows with single courtyards, giving Gao Chen a sense of comfort and peace, except for the dead trees at the end of the village and the peace and blessing hanging at the door of the house are a little special, there is nothing abnormal in other aspects.
At this time, in the middle of the village, there is a family busy putting up lights inside and out, presumably the home of Li Tianyu's college classmate.
"Tianyu, why are you here! Everyone is in a hurry, yo, and bring a man, quickly introduce us to it. ”
As soon as the two of them reached the door, they were blocked by four or five girls, and the sound of chattering was endless.
"Go, go, this is my old watch, don't talk nonsense, let's go and see the groom first! Hehe, I have to make a good mess of him tonight, he is the happiest when others get married. ”
Li Tianyu naturally dealt with these female classmates, but Gao Chen was a little too big, in terms of dealing with the opposite sex, he was worried in his heart, and he didn't know how to talk to him, so he could only say hello to Li Tianyu and go for a walk alone.
"Unlucky big radish, you old watch is too cold! A few of us are upper-class beauties, and he doesn't even say hello! ”
Seeing Gao Chen's farewell, a tall and beautiful woman questioned Li Tianyu dissatisfiedly.
"Eh, Yan Xi, don't get me wrong, my old watch is very rigid, and I haven't played friends in my thirties! Let's play with ours, ignore him! ”
"Humph!"
Li Tianyu's round field only got a cold snort.
The indignant beauty is named Sui Yanxi, the conditions of the family are more superior than the Li family, she was a school flower-level figure in college, she has been spoiled by the male stars like the moon, and she has been ignored for the first time when she is so big, which causes her heart to be extremely unbalanced, and she is secretly determined to find a chance to give Gao Chen some color.
Except for this unpleasant episode, everyone is very happy, after all, after participating in the work, everyone gathers less and leaves more, and takes this opportunity to reminisce about each other, nostalgia and youth.
Rural people are accustomed to set up flowing water banquets, the people who participate in the banquet finish at noon, and they can still eat the next meal in the evening, and the banquet party does not want money, just for the sake of excitement, the more people come to eat, which proves that the family's popularity in the village is better.
Gao Chen, who was sitting in the courtyard, silently looked at the frolicking crowd, like a bystander, everything the others did had nothing to do with him, and he didn't participate or care.
"Huh! Looks like someone is going to be unlucky! ”
Gao Chen looked up at the afterglow of the setting sun, and then let out a playful self-mutter, because he saw a figure wearing a white suit with the words "decline" and "joy" written on his forehead suddenly appear at the gate.
The decaying ghost, a wisp of evil qi born together with Hongmeng at the beginning of its opening, does not belong to the special existence within the jurisdiction of the Three Realms and Six Realms, does not have much mana, and cannot be cultivated and promoted for life, nor can it be eliminated, and generally appears on occasions of great joy and sorrow, a bit similar to the god of joy canonized by the fairy world, the only difference is that the status and ability of the god of joy are far worse than it.
However, all the "all" who are actively spoken by the decaying ghost will have two consequences, either the point is memorized to the extreme, or the good luck continues, this "all" includes all living beings, even immortals, demons, and ghosts cannot be avoided, so it is not an exaggeration to call it a god.
When the ghost of decay talks to people, if the word decay is displayed on the forehead, then you will be lucky in the future, and what you will do is smooth; On the contrary, if the word "happiness" appears, it will be unlucky, and you may drink cold water and stuff your teeth, and you will mix your heels when you walk; Generally, it can last for about a month before it slowly disappears.
Gao Chen saw the decaying ghost nodding at him, knowing that the decaying ghost noticed something extraordinary about him, so he returned a smile and said hello to each other, so he didn't want this great god to really come and say hello!
The lively wedding feast continued, and the drinkers smiled contentedly as they watched the young people make a fuss, and the feast continued until midnight.
At some point, the trace of the declining "god" disappeared together...
