Chapter 31: The Living Dead Lao Zhang

The light box Gao Chen was carrying, in addition to two eye-catching accommodations, was also engraved with a circle of strange text patterns, which ordinary people would at most regard as decorative patterns, and the ghosts would understand the meaning of the patterns when they saw them.

As the saying goes: people have human language, ghosts have ghost texts, and the ghost text is also known as the water book or ghost book, which is a text for the yin soul to read, it is imitated by the ancient water ancestors from the Chinese characters, but basically the Chinese characters are written backwards, written backwards or changed the writing of the Chinese characters, and I don't know why, the yin soul will understand the content of its writing when it sees the text, it seems that these words contain some special divine power, so that the yin soul reaches the point of being self-taught.

Gao Chen's "memory" has the knowledge of related texts, but he has not really written at all, so he can only copy the gourd painting scoop, so the inscriptions engraved on the light box probably mean: There is a hotel here that can provide rest and incense for passing ghosts, the cost is very low, and the ghosts who have no place to go hurry up and stay in the hotel!

After setting up the light box, Gao Chen returned to the front desk to light a cigarette, and then kept staring at the door, expecting the ghosts to appear early, maybe he was the first person who really wanted to see ghosts!

Everything is difficult at the beginning, Gao Chen looked at the time, it was already more than one o'clock in the morning, and there was still no ghost running in the hotel, he got up and walked around, and didn't find any taboo things or ornaments in the house, so is there something wrong with the text outside?

Gao Chen, who was just about to go out to check the LED light box, was stopped by a euphemistic female voice.

"It's so comfortable! I haven't smelled the soul incense for many years, the store, you use the soul incense to attract customers, aren't you afraid of losing money? ”

The one who spoke was a female ghost dressed in white, with long flowing hair and delicate cheeks, giving people a rather stunning feeling.

"Miss, of course you will lose money with the incense, what you are provided with is a small soul incense, the quality is good, and there is absolutely no bullying for children!"

Gao Chen explained politely.

Indeed, as the female ghost said, the production cost of soul incense is very high, it must be made with more than old elm bark supplemented by corpse oil and yin stone powder, and mixed according to a specific proportion, corpse oil is condensed from the animal's body, yin stone refers to the stone that has been placed in the cemetery for a long time, although these things are relatively rare, money can still buy it, but the cost is very high.

Increasing the popularity of the widow in the yin soul is the primary issue, Gao Chen thought of this, so he started the idea of a female ghost, and then said in a tone full of temptation: "Miss, let's sum it up!" I hired you to help me get customers! The commission is calculated according to the number of occupants every month, and the basic salary is three soul incense, and one is added for every 20 people, how about it? The more people you have, the more you give! ”

"Deal! You have to do what you say, and you can't play tricks on the little girl! In the future, you will call me Bai Ling! ”

The female ghost smiled sweetly at Gao Chen, and immediately went to fulfill her duties, she floated outside the widow's house, and began to attract the wandering lonely ghosts to stay in the hotel.

The effect of this marketing method was immediate, and not long after Bai Ling went out, a large number of ghosts ran in, and Gao Chen was busy until dawn before putting down the work in his hand.

After cleaning the incense ash in the guest room, Gao Chen sat on the sofa and calculated the passenger flow of the first night of the opening of the child's house, of course, this passenger flow was calculated for the number of ghosts.

"Haha, last night's soul offering incense was not wasted, there are actually hundreds of Yin Souls here, and the prospects are very good!"

Gao Chen, who came to the conclusion, laughed happily, he did not estimate out of thin air, but had real data, because there were 200 small incense burners in the guest room on the second floor that he had renovated, and one incense burner corresponded to a yin soul, and the incense burner for the soul incense burned out represented that there was a yin soul lodged, and the incense candles needed to be reinserted the next day.

Gao Chen was not worried that the Yin Souls would steal the incense without authorization, first, each soul offering incense was enough for the Yin Soul to suck all night, and second, he had stained the top of the soul offering incense with extremely yang chicken blood, and it was impossible for ordinary Yin Souls to ignite it directly, unless it was a non-Yin body that could not care about the barrier of chicken blood.

Gao Chen, who had been busy all night, did not have any sense of exhaustion, after dawn, he rushed to the white market without stopping, because he provided the soul incense for free last night, this time he consumed most of the few inventory, and all the ghosts who lived in the hotel did not pay the corresponding "rent", in order not to affect the business, he had to invest a lot of money again to make more soul incense.

Taking advantage of the work of making incense and candles, Gao Chen, who had nothing to do, wandered around the street of Baishi, he looked at the rows of shops, showing a strange expression, and couldn't figure out the meaning of opening a store in a bunch, shouldn't business be in short supply and be a monopoly?

Gao Chen has never really done business, and he has never heard a wise saying circulating in the business circle: peers get together, become a market, the more popular the business, the more the area where the peers are concentrated, the more customers do business with the market, the greater the contrast of customers' choices, and these ways of doing business are useless for a person who does business with ghosts.

Walking to the door of a longevity store, Gao Chen stopped, this store is not as high-end as other stores, it is not an exaggeration to describe it with the word shabby, the door face is narrow, the plaque is shabby, and the house is still dark, which makes people feel the urge not to go in at a glance, but the canvas hanging at the door has attracted Gao Chen's attention.

"Ghosts and gods are universal, and those who know the goods are coming!"

Eight large characters were written on the canvas, and Gao Chen knew that there were people from the same way here, so he immediately walked to the house.

"If you want to make high-quality longevity materials, go to someone else's house to make it! Our shop is too small, and only sells a few scattered burnt paper and candles! ”

A rickety figure, who didn't seem to like people coming to disturb, said with Gao Chen behind his back in an unhappy tone.

Gao Chen didn't move, he opened his mouth to say the meaning of the inscription on the canvas, intending to test the other party's reality and see if there was real material.

"Housheng, do you recognize Yanwen? Can't be wrong, can't be wrong, how can you say it accurately if you don't recognize it? I've finally waited for this day, woo! ”

Incoherent shouts filled the small space, and after the rickety figure turned around, Gao Chen took off his sunglasses, stared at the other party and roared: "You are so bold, you dare to stay in the yang world as a living dead, aren't you afraid of entering the infernal hell and enjoying the pain of eternal life?" ”

Gao Chen is indeed extremely angry, because the living dead are immoral and completely desecrate the majesty of the underworld, it is the living who encounter unknown factors when they are about to die, and they are removed from the book of life and death, and they will never be bound by reincarnation, even if they do something harmful, the underworld will not notice the slightest.

The biggest characteristic of the living dead is that the soul and the body cannot be completely integrated, and all the actions of the body are manipulated by the soul, which is similar to the principle of shadow puppetry.

There is a clear provision in the underworld that anyone who finds the living dead will be immediately escorted to the Infernal Hell, and there will be no justification and no justice, which shows how much the underworld hates the living dead, and will not even give a chance to redress their grievances.

Lao Zhangtou was frightened stupidly, and knelt down in front of Gao Chen with a plop, and kept begging: "Please let me live!" I don't even know what's going on! ”

"Yo! Would you not know that you were the living dead? What about liars, right? I'll send you to the underworld tonight! ”

After Gao Chen finished speaking sternly, Da Ma Jindao found a stool and sat down, ignoring Lao Zhangtou's crying and wiping his tears.

"Old man, why don't you tell me the ins and outs of becoming the living dead? I'm curious! ”

There was still a period of time before it got dark, and Gao Chen didn't want to listen to the choking sound of Lao Zhang's grinding and chirping, so he changed the topic in a timely manner.

Unexpectedly, Gao Chen inadvertently asked, but received a terrifying news......
