In the early morning, when everything was silent, a glimmer of light on the eastern horizon carefully soaked the light blue sky, and a new day gradually moved from afar.

I slowly opened my eyes and stretched.

Tidy up and wash, walk out the bedroom door and find the living room empty.

This is the old merchant's house, and when he came to his house, he didn't look closely at the house because they were both tired.

Look at it now, it's really a house that a "Onmyoji" should have.

In general, one word - chaos. Clothes were thrown all over the floor, and household garbage was placed haphazardly.

And there are all kinds of charms on the walls, and I'm sure all kinds of ghosts can't get close to it.

The bedroom, on the other hand, is more like a warehouse.

On the cabinet are all kinds of essential things for onmyoji. Copper plate, yellow charm, peach wood, peach blossom, red cloth...... All kinds, everything.

And on the ceiling facing the bed, there are printed graphics and words, like a formation.

For me, who has the spirit of a housewife, dirty mess is absolutely intolerable. Just as I was getting ready to clean up the house. Listen closely, the sound of someone talking.

Following the sound, I came to another room connected to the living room.

Then he saw the old merchant sitting at his desk, talking with a woman.

"Master, you must help me, my family is my old man alone. I couldn't live without him. As she spoke, she couldn't help but wipe her tears with a tissue.

"Don't worry, Ms. Cheng, since you have entrusted us, then we will not let you down."

It turned out to be the old merchant's business. It's also convenient to have a place to work at home.

When the woman saw me, she asked the old merchant, "Master Shang, who is this?" ”

"Ms. Cheng, this is my assistant." The old merchant replied with a smile on his face and unchanged.

"Because our company is one of the best in the industry, we have a lot of business. I couldn't get busy, so I hired an assistant. The old merchant continued in style.

When did I become your assistant? Bragging is really not red and heartbeat.

"In this case, then please trouble the master to help!" The old woman looked at the old merchant with admiration, as if she believed in the old merchant even more. (So fooled?) ）

The old merchant nodded and motioned for me to send the woman away.

I looked at him with disdain and led the woman out of the room.

When I returned to his office, I saw him lying in a chair smoking a cigarette with his eyes half-closed.

"What's wrong with that woman?" Can't help but be curious, I asked.

"That's my business, and the kid still wants to interfere?" The old merchant was still lying there, smoking a cigarette.

"Why, can't your assistant ask?" I teased.

Hearing my teasing, he still didn't change. Said slowly: "Do you want to be an onmyoji?" ”

Hearing this, I hesitated slightly. Last night, I was very determined to become an onmyoji to save the world. But after a good night's sleep, I felt that after all, this line of work was not in the stream. Although this profession is still the right way, it will definitely not be recognized by most people in the world, I don't want my parents to work hard in vain?

Without waiting for me to answer, Lao Shang threw a book from the bookshelf behind him to me - "Junior Onmyoji Level Examination Syllabus".

"There's still an exam for this business." I was speechless.

"Aren't you, you're a charlatan? Our management is very strict. The old merchant gave me a blank look.

Open the book, and it is densely packed. There are also annotations to the exam questions next to them, which I think...... It was like I was back in school.

"Read the book well, don't hang up in the written test" The old merchant finished all his cigarettes at this time, and the cigarette butts were all over the place.

"Dare to love and have an oral exam?"

"The Onmyoji exam is held once a year, and each time you have to go through three exams, the first level of the written test, and the top 32 candidates from thousands of candidates can enter the second level. In the second level of the interview, the judges will comprehensively check your comprehensive qualities, leaving 8 candidates behind. The third level is the martial arts test, and the eight of you have to compete with each other, and finally select one of them to obtain an onmyoji. ”

"What? Isn't it more difficult than the college entrance examination? My eyes widened.

"Of course, everyone who can become an onmyoji is a dragon among people, and they are talented." The old merchant boasted proudly.

"It's not easy, it seems that you were really not easy back then," I boasted from the bottom of my heart.

"When I was an onmyoji, I didn't have to take exams, but now there are more and more charlatans, and the quality is getting worse and worse, so the "Yin-Yang People's Congress" only passed the guò policy a few years ago. The old merchant looked at me pitifully.

Sometimes I have to sigh that the decisions of the top are simply fatal!

"How's the income in this business? This difficulty is going to surpass that of civil servants, so it shouldn't be bad," I asked with concern.

"How vulgar are you?" The old merchant looked disdainful again, "To do this, you must have a high ideological realm, mainly to eliminate harm for the people, punish evil and promote good." Seeing that you are so vulgar, how can you pass the exam? With that, he made a gesture and prepared to take the book back.

I hurriedly flashed, "What Master Shang taught is that I will follow the teachings. ”

I was about to go back to my bedroom to start preparing for the exam, when I suddenly thought of the lady just now and asked, "What happened to that woman?" ”

"Want to know?" The old merchant replied.

"I'm inspired to be an onmyoji, so it's okay if you sue me, right?" I asked him expectantly.

"She's raising imps."

"What is raising a little ghost?" I asked the old merchant puzzled.

"Raising a little ghost is ......" just when the old merchant wanted to explain it to me.

"Jingle bell~~~" A phone rang.

After the old merchant picked up the phone, his expression suddenly became stern.

I couldn't hear what was being said on the other side, but I saw that the old businessman's expression was getting more and more solemn.

"Yes, yes. No problem. I'll be there right away. After a short answer, the old merchant hung up the phone.

He thought about it for a while, habitually picked up the cigarette case, and when he saw that it was empty, he threw it everywhere.

"Lu Xing?" He looks at me.

"What?" I was uncomfortable staring at him. ”

"I'll be back in a day or two, you can help me take a look at the house, and if Ms. Cheng comes, you can ask her to wait for me to come back."

After speaking, he walked out of the office directly.

I can see that the matter is not small, and I am not embarrassed to continue to ask him, after all, he is so bullish, nothing will happen.

"Okay, okay, go early and come back early, and what is my salary as your assistant?"

The old merchant pointed to the refrigerator in the living room, and while walking out of the house, he straightened his braids.

"Rice."

"Bump—" After saying that, he closed the door.

I stood there alone, dumbfounded.

Sure enough, it's an old businessman, who helps you work and only eats.
