Qingming Festival, Guangdong and Guangxi, Renjia Town, Yizhuang.
"Damn it, five thousand taels, if you give it to me, I won't make a fortune."
After printing the Ming coins, Qiu Sheng couldn't help but exclaimed when he looked at the face value on it.
"If you like it, take it. As a master, I won't treat you badly. I will burn more for you after you die."
Next to him, Lin Jiu glanced faintly and said, as the head of the bank, every Qingming Festival, he has to print out some ghost money and burn it to the subordinates. This is also his duty in the underworld.
Qiu Sheng's face suddenly stiffened when he heard this. He was not stupid enough to know that all the money was for ghosts. If a living person like himself wanted this money, wouldn't he be expecting his own death? How unlucky he was, so he quickly changed the subject.
"By the way, master, didn't we print four thousand taels last year? Why is it only five thousand taels this year? There is such an increase."
"Prices are rising. Didn't you see that money is becoming less and less valuable now? A piece of ocean in the past was worth a few bucks now. Prices in the world are rising so fast. Everything has to be increased to give the following
Naturally, I’ll add some more.”
Lin Jiu explained casually and added another sentence at the end.
"Besides, for us, it's just to make the face value of the figure larger, and we don't really need to add more money. Why do we care so much?"
This is the point, Master.
When Qiu Sheng heard this, a smile that saw through everything appeared on his face.
Lin Jiu noticed the smile on his disciple's face but ignored it. Suddenly he noticed that another disciple, Wen Cai, seemed to have never been seen, and immediately asked again.
"By the way, where is Wencai?"
"Oh, isn't there a free show today? Wen Cai went to get his seat first."
Qiu Sheng replied upon hearing this, and Lin Jiu's expression suddenly changed.
"What, a big show?!"
"What's wrong, master? Is there something wrong?"
"Idiot, today's scene is for ghosts. Is he, a living person, going to seek death?"
Lin Jiu was shocked and anxious, and felt tired at the same time. He had really been unlucky for eight lifetimes, and he actually accepted these two incompetent disciples. It was just lazy and ineffective. The key was that he was not worry-free. He was often not.
Getting into trouble is on the way to getting into trouble, and he, the master, has wiped his butt so many times for this.
"Ah, what should master do?"
When Qiu Sheng heard this, he immediately panicked, because it was still his fault. He thought tonight's drama was free to watch, so he asked Wen Cai to go over and take a seat.
"What else can we do? Go call him back as soon as possible. Otherwise, if it's too late, he will be taken into the underworld by those ghosts."
Lin Jiu said angrily. After speaking, she picked up a bag and walked out of the door quickly.
At the same time, the drama is happening.
"Qiang! Qiang! Qiang!......"
On the stage, a great drama is being performed in which Guan Gong passes five levels and kills six generals, and the fight is lively.
The silly-looking Wen Cai with Jarhead was chewing a sugar cane while standing under the stage and looking at it with gusto. Seeing more and more people around behind him, seeing that there was no good seat left, he couldn't help but look towards the door.
"Master and senior brother, why haven't you come yet? If you don't come, the seats will be taken up by others."
At this moment, Wen Cai noticed that Guan Gong, who was performing on the stage, looked at him for some reason and kept blinking at him.
Is it interacting with myself?
My heart moved.
"Good! Well done!......"
Wen Cai immediately excitedly clapped his hands several times to Guan Gong to encourage him.
"Oh my god, where did this idiot come from? He thought I was applauding me for interacting with him."
The person performing Guan Gong on the stage was extremely anxious when he saw this. As the protagonist of this scene, he naturally knew the purpose of this scene. This was basically a performance for ghosts, not for humans.
When I watched the show, I originally saw Wen Cai winking at Wen Cai in order to get Wen Cai to leave quickly, but this silly boy actually applauded him.
"This seems to be Uncle Jiu's disciple Wen Cai."
"Forget it, don't worry, we can't stop the play once it starts. Let's play our part."
"..."
Off the field, Wencai hadn't figured out the situation around him yet. Although he saw more and more people around him and the air temperature seemed to be getting colder, it didn't matter at all.
At this time, Lin Jiu, master and apprentice Qiu Sheng, finally rushed to the door. When they opened the door cloth, they saw the literary talent standing alone at the front of the stage, chewing sugar cane and watching with gusto.
"Master, Wen Cai is inside."
Qiu Sheng said immediately. After saying that, he saw that the entire theater was empty. There was no one watching the theater except for the literary talents. How could there be such a thing as what his master said? He couldn't help but laugh.
"Master, what the hell are you talking about? You must have lied to me."
Gu "No ghost?"
Lin Jiu looked at Qiu Sheng angrily when he heard this, then without saying anything, he put two grapefruit leaves on Qiu Sheng's brow and opened his eyes before speaking.
"You can take a closer look inside."
Qiu Sheng felt that his whole eyes were washed by a stream of clear water and became a little different. He followed the words and looked inside again, and suddenly saw that the originally empty theater was densely packed with people, all standing around the literary talents. These people were dressed in different clothes.
Strange, but most of them are wearing shrouds of the same color, and their feet do not touch the ground, and their faces are as pale as paper. Who are these figures? They are all ghosts.
"Oh my god!"
Qiu Sheng suddenly felt his legs go weak, and he felt an unprecedented cold air rising from his back and reaching towards Tian Ling Gai. He almost collapsed to the ground in fear, and turned to look at Lin Jiu.
"Master, they are really all ghosts, what should I do?"
"what to do?"
Lin Jiu glanced at the four ghosts behind these ghosts who were standing on a high place holding mourning sticks. After thinking for a while, he took out a red rope and tied one end to Qiu Sheng's wrist.
"You go in and bring Wen Cai out. I will use this red rope to pull you. Remember, you must pretend that you cannot see these ghosts. Otherwise, if these ghosts know that you can see them, you will be in trouble."
"Ah, should I go?"
Qiu Sheng's face turned bitter, and he was crying and afraid to go.
At this time, a beautiful female ghost dressed in ancient costume suddenly appeared next to Wen Cai in the theater. She was talking and laughing with Wen Cai. Lin Jiu's face suddenly changed. Knowing that something was going to happen, he quickly kicked Qiu Sheng in the butt without saying anything.
He kicked Qiu Sheng into the theater.
"Stop talking nonsense and go quickly."
"Master, you must look at me."
Qiu Sheng then plucked up the courage to suppress the fear in his heart and walked into the theater.
Approaching the ghost group, the ghosts immediately noticed Qiu Sheng coming in and turned to look at Qiu Sheng. Several of the ghosts were directly blocking Qiu Sheng's front.
"Sorry, let me."
Under tension, Qiu Sheng instinctively spoke when he saw a ghost blocking his way.
"Oops."
However, after saying this, he suddenly realized that he had revealed his secret, so he quickly covered his mouth and pretended not to see, and rushed forward to find Wencai.
"Literary talent."
"Senior brother, you're here. Where's the master? He's not here yet."
"Master has asked us to go back if something happens. Come with me quickly."
Qiu Sheng wanted to go directly to Wen Cai and leave, but at this time Wen Cai was already attracted by the big drama on the stage and the female ghost Xiaoli next to him, and he didn't want to leave at all.
"Senior brother, don't worry. What can happen to master? It's not too late for us to go back after we finish the trick. Oh, by the way, let me introduce to you. This is the female ghost Xiaoli."
The female ghost Xiaoli also immediately looked at Qiu Sheng with a smile and gave Qiu Sheng a wink.
The female ghost Xiaoli looked pretty, and Qiu Sheng was shocked by this flirtatious look. Fortunately, Qiu Sheng had not completely forgotten his master's words, and pretended not to see Tao.
"Wencai, what are you talking about? Where is the female ghost? Come and follow me."
She said that she wanted to win over Wencai, but her acting skills were too exaggerated. Xiaoli, the female ghost, could see it at a glance. Moreover, she was about to use Wencai to get rid of the ghost, so she couldn't let go easily, so she immediately took Wencai's hand and acted coquettishly.
"Young Master Wencai, do you really want to leave?"
Wencai was immediately confused and dizzy, shaking his head repeatedly.
"If you don't want to go, I'll stay and watch the show with you."
"Then this young master is also willing to stay and watch the show with me."
The female ghost looked at Qiu Sheng again, cast a flirtatious look again, and used the charm technique at the same time.
"Oops, both of them are charmed."
Lin Jiu, who was hiding outside the door, immediately changed his expression when he saw this, and quickly pulled the red rope with his hand. As a result, Qiu Sheng was pulled a few times, but he untied and threw away the red rope. Then he was fascinated by the female ghost and said
What happened, the two of them actually turned around and rushed towards the four ghost guards who were responsible for guarding these ghosts. Each of them attached two talismans to the ghost guards. The four ghost guards were completely defenseless and were knocked down on the spot.
"The ghost has fallen, everyone, run away!"
When the female ghost saw this, she immediately shouted again, causing chaos in the scene, and all the ghosts fled in all directions.
Lin Jiu's expression changed drastically when he saw this, and he rushed in to stop them, but it was too late. There were too many ghosts, and they were all running away, so he alone could not stop them.
