The next day was cloudy, and the gray clouds obscured the sun, and it was hot and muggy, as if a shower was coming.

When I woke up, my whole body was sore, and the hangover made me feel a little nauseous, so I got up and took a drink bottle to the water dispenser to get water, and after a bottle of water went down to my stomach, I felt a little better, I looked at the deflated guitar bag under the bed, and my heart was sad again.

That guitar has been broken, I guess I can't find it now, I sighed, the two pianos surnamed Suo and the donkey skin drum are fine, you know that I may be counting on that drum to make money in the next paragraph.

At nine o'clock, the three people in the bedroom had not woken up, I quietly dressed and went out, before leaving, I looked at the window of Su Yidan's bedroom, and said to myself in my heart, I am not a last resort, I don't want to deceive people.

After three stops of the bus, I found his home according to the address Han Wanchun gave me, I didn't want this old guy to live to look quite new, downstairs in that community, I called him, he opened the door for me, and let me go up by myself, the sixth floor.

When the door opened, Han Wanchun's oily old face was mixed with the smell of braised beef noodles, I frowned, I saw Han Wanchun pulling blue slippers, a white vest on his upper body, and a boxer on his lower body, he saw me, so he smiled at me and said, "Here, come and sit in the house, I just got up." ”

I really didn't find a place to do anything in this room, it was just a garbage heap, I looked around, wine bottles and a convenience bag with a surname were spread on the ground, a one-bedroom room, a rough room, the wall was not even white, so I asked him: "This is your home?" ”

"Rent, if it's my house, can I build it like this?" The old fellow was not shy, but he kicked over a bottle and dragged me into the back room.

The inner room was still relatively clean, a simple folding bed was placed against the wall, and a large table was placed against the wall on the east side, on which was spread a very old red cloth, on which were placed six wooden spiritual tablets and an incense burner full of incense ashes, those spiritual seats looked old, and the wood had turned dark red.

I saw that Han Wanchun said to me: "You wait a while, I'll go to the pillar incense first." ”

After that, he turned out a handful of tribute incense, counted eighteen and lit it, carefully inserted it into the incense burner, and then folded his hands, as if he was very reverently swinging towards those spiritual positions, and his mouth kept muttering: "Ancestors bless, bless me this time I made a fortune, bless bless, say okay, you want to bless me, I will burn you twenty pieces of incense in the future, hey, young man, do you go to the pillar incense?" ”

After that, he turned his head to ask me, sat on the folding bed and shook his head at him, and then said: "Your ancestor is not my ancestor, I really can't see it, uncle, you are quite traditional, and it is the first time I have seen it when I rent a house with my ancestor." ”

The old guy smiled, and then said to me: "Okay, young man, eloquence, well, he is a plastic talent, didn't I tell you before, my family has been doing this for generations, this really didn't lie to you, there are rules." ”

After that, I saw him very proudly introduce his ancestors to me, he said to me, I didn't see the middle one, he is the best one in my family for generations, the head of a certain faction in Maoshan, that is my grandfather, listen to my dead ghost father, he was the number one person in China back then............

I was a little speechless and said to him: "Maoshan seems to be an old way, can an old way get married?" ”

Han Wanchun glanced at me, and then said to me: "He can't be a monk halfway, I heard that when he became a monk, it seems that my grandmother seems to be pregnant..................

Han Wanchun said, listening to his father, this old Taoist monk is quite caring for his family after he became a monk, and he left some cheats after his death, but during the special period a few decades ago, he was burned clean by a fire, and only some residual physiognomy formulas were left for him, otherwise, he would not have fallen into the pitiful situation of relying on fortune telling people everywhere to make a living.

The old man seemed to be more and more depressed the more he talked, and finally lit a cigarette and sat next to me and talked to me, but he said that I was not interested in these things at all, and even if his ancestor was Qin Shi Huang, what did it have to do with me? Let's hurry up and get to the point, so I said to him: "Okay uncle, let's talk about these opportunities, let's talk about it first, I will cooperate with you, what are you going to do, I am really anxious to use the money." ”

Han Wanchun smiled, handed me a cigarette, and said to me: "I thought about it last night, before we open, we have to rehearse and rehearse, study and study how to say in order to fool people, we are both doing this for the first time, crossing the river by touching the stones, understand?" ”

"Then what are you waiting for, hurry up and get it!" I stood up and said to the old guy, "Say it early, I'll bring the drum if you say it soon." ”

Which Cheng thought that Han Wanchun shook his head, and then said to me, saying that it is not enough to have a drum, I was stunned for a moment, thinking to myself, why can't I do it, I have done it several times?

Han Wanchun pinched his chin with his right hand, and then looked at me for a while before he said to me: "Xiao Yuan'er, I'll go with my uncle later, take you to recognize the road, and change your outfit." ”

It turns out that Han Wanchun can't frighten people when he sees my appearance, you must know that most of those who do supernatural things are old, and they look like they are old in a flash, and the old guy said that the shape is very important, so I must package it for you.

I believe that a large part of the reason why I didn't fight him in the underground passage before was because of his beggar suit, so I just did it, and the old guy led me out immediately.

Along the way, the old guy told me a lot of ways in this industry, to sum up, is to be able to blow, but anyone can brag, to brag is very difficult, fortunately, if the two of us cooperate, it is he who negotiates with those bitter masters, so I don't have to worry too much.

He just needs me to remember one thing, that is, when the money is in hand, flash it quickly, and don't worry about anything else.

At that time, I was a little confused, you must know that dancing the god is a ritual to ward off evil spirits, why just ask for money and not work? I understood, he didn't know what I was capable of, I thought to myself that I would cooperate with him anyway, so let's make it clear to her, so I said to him: "Uncle Chun, in fact, I can really dance the great god, I am the descendant of the shaman." ”

How do you know that after listening to my words, this old guy actually laughed, and then patted me on the shoulder and said to me: "Xiao Yuan'er, your attitude is very good, but you used the wrong person, wait until you see the bitter master, remember, you have to pretend to be a little more profound, don't laugh, yes, that's it, it's good." ”

I was speechless, this old guy didn't believe me, I sighed, thinking forget it, don't explain, no matter how much you say about this old fritter, it's a waste of tongue, how does he want to go with him, but, although I only want to make money in my heart, but there is a sentence that must be made clear, so I asked him on the way: "Uncle, you say, if the people who invite us to dance are really haunted or something, then what can we do?" ”

The old guy smiled, and then said to me: "You remember, we must be clear about what we do, that is, money, nothing else is under our control, and there is another thing, are you a kid who has watched too many movies, where are there so many ghosts, most of the people who can invite people to dance are ghosts in their hearts." ”

I smiled bitterly and wanted to refute him, but I couldn't find the right words, this old guy seems to have never met a real ghost so he said this, but what he said actually has some truth, because now many people are indeed like this, bullying the living in every way, but they are in awe of the dead, as the saying goes, don't do bad things, night ghosts knock on the door and don't be alarmed, this kind of people are typical ghosts in their hearts.

But I can't listen to him completely, I thought to myself, anyway, my role is to help, and if I really encounter something evil, I will directly beat the gong and drum and ask those things to get on this old guy's body, just like a monkey, anyway, I say it, and most of him will not know after he is possessed.

I looked at this Han Wanchun, and I actually had a feeling that the more I looked at him, the more I looked like Maori Kogoro.

That day, Han Wanchun took me to a lot of places, most of them are remote places and hardware markets, Han Wanchun said that he checked, to dance the gods actually need a lot of things, in addition to the most important drums, but also need gold needles and silver threads, flower crown brocade robes, waist bells and foot bells, grains, ingots and candles and the like.

He was right, I nodded secretly, indeed, the orthodox shaman dance does need these things, and he said one thing less, that is, masks and golden knives, this is the stuff of the royal shaman, but now it is difficult to want Qi Ke, Han Wanchun just took me around at first, I have to say, although this old bastard has a lewd character, but he has a wide range of contacts, which is not difficult to see from the old lady who sells boxed lunches in the streets and alleys.

He led me to meet a lot of people, most of them are some old people, from the merchants who sell vegetables, meat, and dry spices, to the old men who tell fortunes and watch the stalls, and then to some fortune-telling parlors with facades, those people are actually very familiar with him, Han Wanchun usually carries four boxes of cigarettes in his pocket, a box of Baisha, a box of Hongtashan, a box of Liqun, and a box of Furong Wang.

The old guy said to me that they may all be our rich people, because the people who believe in ghosts and gods the most in this world are divided into two categories, one is people who live at the bottom of society, this kind of people generally have low cultural quality, have not received higher education, as the so-called poorer the more worship of God, if they encounter something, most of them will panic, but most of these people do not have any big oil and water to fish.

And the earth kind of people are quite interesting, that is, people with money and power, which is somewhat ironic, because the richer and more powerful, the more they spare their lives, this is a true thing, you must know that you have money and you will enjoy it, usually cold and fever are willing to give thousands of people to the hospital, and they don't care about the money to ask people to exorcise evil spirits, and this kind of people often have it in their hearts. I don't know why, but this kind of employer is hard to find, because they have already reached the grade, even if they are looking for exorcism, they have to find those who are famous, so the old guy took me to a few more famous fortune-telling parlors in Harbin.

The old guy said to me, he said that this kind of shop, can stand for five years, then there must be its means or background, so to say hello to those employers, everyone is for money, and those fortune tellers 'boss', often also rely on ventriloquist to eat, but the luck is high, so do a good reputation, so with them to build a good relationship, in case they encounter can't do it or need to 'jump God' business, they will contact us, but after the thing is done, just give them a share, mutual benefit and everyone get rich together.

Do a good job, let's open a shop like this in the future, the old guy said to me after walking out of a fortune-telling parlor.

At that time, I suddenly had the feeling that I felt a bit like a salesman now. There are a lot of such fortune-telling parlors in this area, and after all the visits, it was already afternoon, and the old guy took me to eat a bowl of noodles, and I asked him where he would go next?

While peeling a head of garlic, he said to me: "I have almost notified everything I know, and I will go to the whole line in the afternoon, and you say how good I am to you, I will take all the money...... Hey waiter, what kind of garlic did you say you got for me, all the hell has grown garlic seedlings, hurry up and change it! ”

I thought he would take me to the mall or a ready-to-wear store to make clothes, but I was dumbfounded when I got there, and it was a wreath shop next to a hospital.
