Chapter 469: The Strange Funeral of the Man Who Died Sideways

The small shop was quiet, Wu Jiayou's breathing became short, and he was keenly aware of the meaning of Zhang Xiao's words.

If you do a line, you will encounter some things that cannot be explained, and if you haven't encountered it, you can only say that you have been in the industry for a short time.

In case of any event, I really haven't encountered a good fate, but there must be one around.

"Dao Chief-" Wu Jiayou's voice couldn't help but get smaller: "What you learned in Longhu Mountain is the ability to serve as soldiers and horses, and to raise altars?" ”

Zhang Xiao scratched her head, her expression was a little subtle:

"Uh, pretty much, huh?"

Wu Jiayou was half excited and half serious, and then said:

"Dao Chief, this can't be the same, this kind of thing is not a joke, and it is not for those children who don't know anything to test their courage or treat it as a strange talk."

He paused at this point and said solemnly:

"This is a matter of one's own life, and if one is not good, it may die.

As the saying goes, the Fa is not passed on lightly, and sometimes it is not even easy to ask, so it is definitely not appropriate for me to ask you what you have learned.

So Dao Chief, I, Wu Lao Er, dare to ask here.

Are you sure? ”

Zhang Xiao put away her smile, with the same serious expression, and said solemnly:

"Mr. Wu, no diamond, no porcelain work!"

"Good!" Wu Lao Er slapped his face and said excitedly: "Don't say it, I really have a thing here that has been delayed for a long time, the evil sect is powerful, my main business is feng shui, and I also do red and white ceremonies, but the funeral is only to preside."

Let me be a little scared, come on, come on, Zhang Daochang, let's sit down and talk. ”

Wu Jiayou led Zhang Xiao to the table, and after the two sat down, Wu Jiayou made tea, and that set of techniques can be said to be quite performative without saying that it is fluent.

The audience in front of the magic projection watched with relish, of course, they also drank tea, but as the birthplace of tea and the ancestor of tea, it can only be said that these folk cultural workers are quite capable of fighting.

The wizards watched with relish, and everything was perfect except for the words they couldn't understand.

Only Dumbledore had sat up straight and opened a new snack box.

What Zhang is going to do is probably what the Eastern Daoist does most often, Dumbledore thought, twisted a handful of melon seeds and gently opened them under the strange gazes of the other headmasters.

Feeling the sweetness of the spiced melon seeds, Dumbledore narrowed his eyes in comfort.

This is a rare scene, and sometimes the real way to know a nation is hidden in the life events of these ordinary people, not those cold words.

As for whether others can understand it. What's the matter with me?

Dumbledore picked up another one, his upper and lower teeth lightly knocked, the crisp cracking sound made people have a strange sense of pleasure, and the melon seeds fell into his mouth, just chewing, full of fragrance.

"Headmaster Dumbledore. What do you eat? ”

The Headmaster of Ilvermorny finally couldn't help it, he turned to the side, looked at Dumbledore's delight, and couldn't help but ask.

"This is - melon seeds, I like to eat them very much in the East, do you want to have some?"

"If you could—I mean—that would be great."

As we all know, there is a 'poison' in the matter of eating melon seeds, and after a while, a small plate of melon seeds was put in front of each principal, and they knocked clumsily, obviously unable to eat anything, but the strange thing is that they can't stop.

In the feng shui shop, the two finally began to talk about the commission Wu Jiayou received.

"This matter is actually quite a big trouble here, we have a Wang family in Chinatown, and the business is doing very well, but in fact, they have moved out.

But they have a habit of returning to their old mansion for the holidays, which is said to be the rule set when they first came to New York. ”

Zhang Xiao listened quietly with a teacup, this is the ins and outs, you must understand it clearly to do a line, otherwise it is very likely to be mixed into something strange.

With the background out of the way, the following should be the main thing.

Wu Jiayou took a sip of tea and sighed:

"The old lady of the Wang family died suddenly at the party two years ago, and the Wang family didn't feel anything at first, after all, the old lady was also old.

But at the second party later, another person died, and the Wang family was scared, thinking that the house was not clean or that they had fallen into some trick.

I looked for a lot of people before and after, and I also invited people from Xiangjiang, but I didn't see anything.

In the end, they can only be buried, the Wang family is more traditional, their family has a small manor in New Jersey, but whenever someone in the family dies, they are buried there.

The problem is in this funeral—"

Wu Jiayou looked left and right, and said a little nervously:

"Isn't it necessary to stop the spirit according to the rules and then do something for nothing? But this white thing can't be done, the incense candle is extinguished, the paper money is burned into ashes, the most important thing is ah, who is in charge of the white thing is unlucky, the two gentlemen who presided over the white thing are seriously ill, and they almost died! ”

Zhang Xiao is in spirit, looking at this, it is indeed not normal, although he does not know a lot, but the incense and candles are extinguished, and the paper money does not fall to the ground, it is a big murder.

In ancient times, there was resentment and unwillingness to take it.

But the people of the Wang family can actually cause such a scene? Could it be the spirit son?

It's not right, if it's really a Lingzi, Ilvermorny won't accept it, there are only 1.2 million Chinese in the United States now, and the number of Lingzi is not much.

Ilvermorny will definitely accept it, and Zhang Xiao has also talked to Ilvermorny's people, and there are indeed Chinese students.

It's not a spirit child. It can't be tricky!

Zhang Xiao is really a little puzzled, so what is the situation of this funeral?

This is what happened in the last two years, so it can't be that it hasn't been buried now, right?

Don't

Sure enough, Wu Jiayou continued:

"They didn't dare to party, but the third child of the Wang family came to the ancestral house to pack up his things, and he was going to not come back at all. Dead again.

Now the Wang family wants to find someone to handle the funeral, but no one dares to take it, it has been hanging for a few days, and the remuneration is very high, enough 100,000 US dollars! ”

"No, why is their family so obsessed with funerals?" Zhang Xiao asked puzzledly, this is obviously not the right situation, either find someone to investigate the cause of death, or bury it first.

If you don't bury it, you have to do a funeral, and the time is wrong.

Wu Jiayou shook his head and said with a wry smile:

"Don't mention it, the Wang family was afraid of death at the beginning, but now the third child is dead, it seems that the extremes of things must be reversed, and now they are on the bar, they are bent on doing funerals, and they want to lure out the things hidden in the shadows, and they pay such a high salary not only to do things in vain.

Even the money to get rid of the other party is also in it, thinking that there will be brave men under the heavy reward, and there will definitely be people who are really capable. ”

Zhang Xiao's eyebrows furrowed, and he also shook his head:

"Really capable. To tell you the truth, those who follow the right path really don't just get a heavy reward—"

Speaking of this, he looked at the expression on Wu Jiayou's face, which was almost unbearable, and suddenly reacted.

Am I not the 'brave man who really has the ability'????

"Ahem-" Zhang Xiao tactically coughed a few times, picked up the teacup, and pretended to take a few sips, before sighing:

"Well, you're right, that's true, if it were in normal times, I might have participated because I was interested, but now it's really for money!"

Wu Jiayou nodded again and again: "Yes, a penny is difficult for a hero, everyone has difficulties, it is understandable, understandable!" ”

After saying that, he put down the teacup, restrained his expression, and said with an extremely cautious expression:

"If there is no problem on the Dao Chief's side, then I will contact the Wang family?

Daochang Zhang, don't blame me for being too talkative, it's not your business alone, if you take it, then I will definitely go too.

Although the first two presiding over the white affair did not die, they also fell seriously ill, to be honest. I don't want to get sick. ”

Zhang Xiao nodded, he was not disgusted by Wu Jiayou's cautiousness and repeated confirmation, think about it from another perspective, if someone suddenly came out and said this to himself, he would think he was crazy.

Wu Jiayou is already very bold.

After thinking about it, Zhang Xiao stretched out an index finger, and in Wu Jiayou's puzzled gaze, a misty golden light suddenly lit up on that index finger.

This. What is it? Why is there a golden light?

Wu Jiayou stood up suddenly, his expression was terrified, and his eyes stared at the golden light.

His body trembled, and even his voice trembled:

"Immortals?"

"It's not"

"Youkai?"

"It's not."

"Thank you"

Zhang Xiao dispersed the golden light, helplessly watched Wu Jiayou, who was in a trance, staggered to the landline, picked up the phone, and even dialed the phone a few times without pressing it correctly.

When he finally calmed down, he finally got through the phone, and the following conversation was born.

"Hey, I'm Wu Jiayou, help me contact the Wang family."

"What's the matter? I'm going to take that commission from the Wang family! ”

"Am I crazy? Of course not crazy! Wu Jiayou's expression suddenly became excited, his face turned red, he stepped on his stool, rolled up his sleeves, and yelled towards the phone:

"Hey, let me tell you, Lao Tzu is going to kill the Quartet this time!

God blocks and kills God, and Buddha blocks and kills Buddha! ”

ZHANG Xiao:.

"I didn't drink! It's endless! Hurry up and help me get in touch, hang up! ”

Wu Jiayou hung up the phone excitedly, rubbed his hands and walked to Zhang Xiao's side, laughed with him, and said flatteringly:

"That. Immortal Zhang, can this mortal cultivate? ”

As soon as these words came out, Dumbledore's expression suddenly became serious, and he suddenly noticed a detail that he hadn't noticed before.

In the East, the shamans over there are called Taoist priests or others, but even an ordinary person seems to have an understanding of Taoist priests and immortals.

And there is no fear, even some envy!

This is very different from the West, and it is difficult for a wizard to chat and talk to Muggles without any scruples like Zhang and this Wu family.

It was as if their counterparts on the eastern side had always been one with the Muggles, and there was never such a thing as cutting.

It is undoubtedly very difficult for the West to explain to Muggles what wizarding is, and it is impossible to be like the East at all!

What about Zhang? How would Zhang answer this question? Muggles will be disappointed knowing that they can't become immortals, and this disappointment will most likely turn into negative emotions such as envy and jealousy.

How did the East deal with this negativity of Muggles?

Dumbledore put down the melon seeds in his hand and waited earnestly for Zhang Xiao's answer.

"Cultivation?" Zhang Xiao sighed softly, why Daomen doesn't like to appear in front of people, it is because as long as the saint is revealed, there will definitely be people chasing after him and asking for apprenticeship.

I also have to follow the cultivation of immortals, but it is precisely that immortals can not be cultivated if they want to, and they also need spiritual roots to cultivate immortals

"Mr. Wu—" Zhang Xiao said slowly, he suddenly remembered a question he had asked his father.

Some people can cultivate, and some people can't, so isn't this world too cruel?

Zhang Xiao still remembers her father's answer after being silent for a long time:

"Xiaoxiao. In fact, the higher my cultivation level, the more I hope that I am just an ordinary person and cannot cultivate.

You say it's cruelty to mortals, but what if it's lucky?

You say that cultivation is a kind of supremacy, but what if it's just a simple responsibility? ”

Liability? Fortunate? Cruel?

Zhang Xiao couldn't tell the difference, so he simply didn't divide it, but at this time, he wanted to tell Wu Jiayou in one sentence:

"Mr. Wu, actually. Well, it can't be fixed, this thing needs fate. ”

Look, in fact, there is no big reason, or Zhang Xiao hasn't figured out that big reason yet.

So he simply told the truth.

Wu Jiayou looked disappointed, but only shook his head:

"Hey, fate, fairy fate. This thing can't be forced, I can see it today It's already an eye-opener, thank you Daochang Zhang. ”

Dumbledore's eyebrows twitched twice, showing his inner turmoil.

It was difficult for him to understand why Zhang Mingming had said it so bluntly, but this Muggle was only a little disappointed, but he didn't take it to heart.

Could it be that such a thing as 'fate' has such great power?

What is the reason exactly?

Wu Jiayou was only lost for a short while, really for a while, Zhang Xiao felt that he didn't even have a few minutes, so he was excited again, immersed in the excitement of taking the big guy to catch ghosts.

He walked up and down his small shop, anxiously waiting for a call.

When the old-fashioned telephone rang a piercing ringtone, Wu Jiayou rushed over with an arrow step, picked up the phone and couldn't wait to ask:

"How's it going, is it done?"

"Good! Where is the address? I'll remember, uh-huh, I know, I'll invite you to dinner when I go back, thank you, Lao Zhang! ”

Wu Jiayou hung up the phone, waved his fist fiercely, and then picked up the phone again:

"Hey, my Wu Jiayou!

Mmmm, help me prepare some funeral supplies, the amount is very large, whose family? Wang's!

That's right, it's the Wang family!

Don't want to die? Hehe, I'm telling you, wait and see the big news in our Chinatown, this will win me!

Okay, that's it, hang up! ”

Wu Jiayou rubbed his hands and looked at Zhang Xiao expectantly:

"Daochang Zhang, let's go then?"

"Where? Not Chinatown? ”

Zhang Xiao put down the cup and asked curiously.

"It's not!" Wu Jiayou shook his head: "On the edge of New York, New Jersey, the Wang family's manor!" ”
