Once I heard Cheng Baize say this, I could more or less guess what good news he said about me.
"I see, it's good news if you received a big red envelope and invited me to dinner..."
Cheng Baize laughed twice on the other end of the phone: "Forget it, this is good news for you, but I was also hurt a lot just now trying to seal the tomb of that fierce ghost. How about you accompany me?
Come out and replenish it.”
I frowned, it couldn't be such a coincidence.
"Is the name of the owner of your tomb sealed is Fang Xuehua..."
Cheng Baize paused for a moment on the other end of the phone. After a long while, he replied in surprise: "Okay, I haven't seen you for a few days. Your abilities are going to be unbelievable. Can you even count this?"
I was speechless: "Of course I didn't do it. I just heard my brother-in-law talking to an onmyoji on the phone and asking that onmyoji to guard Fang Xuehua's tomb. I didn't expect that the onmyoji he was looking for was you."
"To be precise, it was his sister-in-law who found me, because my master's name is not so resounding, so he asked me to call Mr. Zhuo...wait a minute, could that nephew he was talking about be?
That guy with evil bones."
I sighed: "Well, it's Zhuo Jing, can you stop calling people guys? They have names and surnames."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, I'm not happy with this anymore. Hey, did you send me a message last night asking about that Fang Xuehua thing?"
"Um."
"Let me tell you, why are you blocked by ghosts? Her enemy is Zhuo Jing..."
His teasing tone made me a little unhappy: "You know, Zhuo Jing was also implicated in this matter. It had nothing to do with him. It was his mother who cooperated with Fang Xuehua in business. In the end, Fang Xuehua couldn't think of committing suicide, and
Fang Xuehua couldn't pester his parents, and seeing that Zhuo Jing was easy to bully because of his evil nature, so..."
"Understand, understand, why are you so excited? Okay, let your Zhuo Jing relax. I have set up the Tianmen Array in front of Fang Xuehua's tomb. Don't say she won't be able to come out to do evil in five years. Except for me, there is no one else.
People can find the weak point of this formation, so Fang Xuehua can only stay in it honestly, and your Zhuo Jing will be fine too."
I smiled softly: "Thank you then."
"Why are you thanking me? Money can't buy you. Are you happy? You like Zhuo Jing, so there's no trick. I think you understand. You have to suffer a big loss from Zhuo Jing to know that you are not suitable for him."
.”
"Don't curse me, you know, I'm on good terms with him."
Cheng Baize's side was silent again, so I called out twice: "Cheng Baize, are you listening?"
Half a moment.
Cheng Baize replied absentmindedly: "Yes, I am...Actually, Mr. Zhuo wanted me to kill that Fang Xuehua, but Fang Xuehua has become a climate now. I really can't catch her, so I can only trap her for five days."
years."
I twitched the corner of my mouth and replied angrily: "Are you afraid that she will run out in the middle? If she runs out, I will remember that someone once swore to me that no one can break the Tianmen Formation I set up.
She can't get out, no one but me can find the fatal weakness."
After saying that, I smiled: "Besides, even if the formation is broken by itself in five years, you can still run away. If my brother-in-law doesn't look for you, I will look for you. Anyway, don't let Fang Xuehua
Just come out and act like a monster, and don't be afraid of her for anything else."
"Forget it, don't mention this. Are you going out to eat? I really have good news about you."
"No, I can't go out today. I have a relative who has to go out of town and I have to see him off. Moreover, I have to find a place where he works for training. Let's wait for another day. I won't forget to eat your meal. Just go ahead.
Tell me what good news you have."
"Hey, as an Onmyoji, you have to find a job to make a living. Isn't it quite embarrassing?"
These words directly disgusted me: "What do you mean? I'm trying to do both. I want to make money, you know, and Onmyoji also has to eat!"
"Come on, I'm in a hurry, I'm in a hurry. I'm just here to deliver food to you. I can introduce you to a job, which can also be considered as a way to expand your reputation. What do you think, do you accept it?"
When I walked to the door of my house, I stopped and said, "If you introduce me to a job, why don't you do it yourself? Not only will you help people get rid of evil spirits, but you will also receive a red envelope and give yourself some reputation. Can you think of this good thing?"
?”
Cheng Baize laughed twice on the other end of the phone. The laughter seemed as if I was ignorant: "Sister, you really don't care about me. I can't invite ordinary people now. If I hadn't happened to catch up with something like this,
How can I have time to go out in person and show it to others, when I am like you and need a job to make ends meet."
I curled my lips, which made him look arrogant, and secretly said in my heart that when I succeed, I will definitely put a damper on your prestige.
But thinking about it in my heart, I said in a very stupid way: "Yes, Mr. Cheng is currently taking on big jobs such as Tianmen Formation and the like. It would be more bluffing to say it out loud. Small Feng Shui masters like us can just do it casually."
Just make a living and eat, if you can give me some small tasks, I would be really grateful."
What I lack most now is money. Of course I will go if I can receive a red envelope. Besides, how can I encounter so many evil things in my daily work and life? Onmyoji mainly relies on the victims to come to ask for help, and here I am, unfamiliar with the place.
If I don't tell you, no one knows me. It's not as good as my home. Everyone knows that I am Ma Yufen's granddaughter as soon as I go out. Although it is just a trivial matter like a stray animal and a child crying at night, we can still be regarded as an onmyoji.
Name.
But here, I even pretended to be a fake shemale. Fortunately, I didn't meet any acquaintances from our village, otherwise it would be more than a little embarrassing.
Cheng Baize made me flatter him quite proudly, but it didn't matter anymore. He told me directly. It didn't sound like a big deal. She was the assistant who sent the vajra to me, and the wife of a distant cousin from my hometown.
, it is said that in the past six months, I have felt weak all over, unable to do anything, and also lethargic. I have been to hospitals all over the country and they all said it is fine. So this time I heard that my distant nephew was given to an older man in the city.
As an assistant, he asked someone to send a message to his nephew, saying that he wanted to ask Cheng Baize to come and have a look.
It's just that his cousin underestimated the reputation of Mr. Cheng, the assistant to his nephew. Now ordinary people can't hire him. Therefore, as soon as Mr. Cheng transferred this matter, it was like a big pie.
It seemed like it hit my Ma Jiaolong directly on the head.
Cheng Baize reminded me cryptically on the phone, saying that his assistant said that this cousin's condition was good and he was a big business in the local area. As long as I kept an eye on him, the red envelope would not be a problem.
Of course I understand what he means. Although our profession is generally similar, we all deal with people's affairs, ward off disasters and provide refuge, and use feng shui to bring luck.
But when broken down into details, there is a big difference. Similar to me and Cheng Baize, what he studied under was different from mine. To dispel evil, it was directly about various Taoist formations, and I was the old Xian'er who followed me. Although
I also know some of his methods, but at critical moments, I still mainly ask Lao Xian'er. This is probably only available in the north.
Therefore, people like Cheng Baize may not have many taboos. When showing others, he can even clearly mark the price before he can go out in person. Especially now that he is famous, if you give him the clearly marked price,
It takes a while to make an appointment, and it's like calling a specialist to see a doctor in a hospital. It costs money and you have to wait patiently.
As for me, if I say something like "I think this thing can be broken for how much money I have to pay," I must not say it. This is a big taboo, because I am a person who is attached to the gods, and I have this ability just to help people in need.
People tend to solve problems, ward off evil spirits and avoid disasters. Talking about money is tantamount to insulting the gods.
When I picked up Xian'er, I followed my grandma to learn not to make a fortune. Grandma often said that money will make people utilitarian and lose their true nature. Therefore, she has always adhered to this principle and taught people in the village.
Look, there was never any talk about money, only red envelopes and eggs from home were voluntarily given after watching the show.
Moreover, grandma is still unwilling to leave the village, saying that she doesn’t like to go out and make troubles. She only occasionally goes back to the county town to show off to others. As a result, grandma’s reputation is only very famous in the village. Now that I think about it, maybe grandma really is the one who
A person who takes fame and fortune very lightly, hiding in a small village. She has real abilities, but never shows them. She doesn't want to bear the name of a powerful gentleman in this life. She is really just like an ordinary person.
An ordinary old lady ended her life in an ordinary way.
And the only one who knows that she is extraordinary is probably me.
I'm going too far. In fact, what we need to accept Xian'er is the red envelope afterwards. We can give as much as people are willing to give. But according to Cheng Baize, the red envelope shouldn't be too little. I didn't accept it because I was afraid of violating the taboo.
But I still felt a little excited in my heart.
If it works well this time, there will definitely be people in the local area looking for me to look at it. If I spread the word, it will spread like this. In this way, if I continue to work part-time as a model, the cost of the surgery will be
No need to worry!
"thank you."
I'm really grateful to Cheng Baize. If he hadn't pulled the strings, I really wouldn't have been able to get this kind of work that an Onmyoji would do in a real sense. Who would trust a fledgling little girl? "What if I gave you that assistant's job?"
My cousin has taken good care of it and will treat you to dinner when he comes back."
"No, just pay me the meal I owe you to show your respect. If you agree, I will send you the phone address. You can go there by car tomorrow. When you get there, Xiaoke's cousin will drive to pick him up.
You will probably have to stay there for a day or two, so bring everything you need."
"okay."
"Also...if you don't understand, or feel there is a problem and you don't understand, call me at any time. If it still doesn't work, I will help you."
"That's so bad. You might as well go directly."
"Is looking at your face the same as looking at other people's face? If you say something, I will be busy, right? Who makes you my sister?"
I laughed twice: "Okay, so your brother is quite reliable. Okay, I have to go home first. I will contact you when I come back smoothly."
"So confident? You really don't need my help?"
"You must have confidence." I smiled and hung up the phone.
Even if I don’t have confidence, I have to have confidence in myself. This is a hard-won opportunity for me. I must seize it. Besides, this is the time when I will truly make a name for myself. I must not ask for help from Cheng Baize.
First of all, it’s embarrassing. Secondly, it’s not nice to say it or not. He is an Onmyoji and I am an Onmyoji. I don’t believe that I can do any worse than him.
…
My sister-in-law is gone.
Before she got in the car, I told her what my brother-in-law said. Although it was just three words "I'm sorry," I thought I would always take it with me.
After hearing this, my sister-in-law looked dim for a moment and did not respond. When the car started, she gently waved her hand at me through the car window and said, "Qiaoqiao, take care of yourself."
I nodded in response: "Sister-in-law! You should also take care of yourself. I will go see you after I finish my work for a while!!"
My sister-in-law gently touched the corner of her mouth, put one hand to her ear as if making a phone call, and shook me gently with the other hand. When the car was far away and out of sight, Xu Meijin stayed in my ear.
Said: "Jiaolong, will your sister-in-law think about it? We all have to run forward. We can't stay in the countryside forever. She will forgive your brother-in-law."
"Maybe." I opened my mouth, responded lightly, took a deep breath and looked at Xu Meijin: "Da Ya, let's go find Hong Yang and take today's photos."
Xu Meijin nodded, and while we were walking to the subway station, she looked at me: "Jiaolong, what will you do if you encounter this kind of thing in the future?"
I was stunned for a moment. I hadn't thought about myself yet, so I shook my head: "I don't know."
Xu Meijin sighed: "If Zhuo Jing hurts you and makes you particularly sad and frustrated, will you still forgive him?"
I looked at her: "Well... if you are discouraged, maybe not, but Zhuo Jing and I are very good, there will be no problem between us."
Xu Meijin smiled helplessly, "Who can guess what will happen in the future? But Jiaolong, I think your sister-in-law did one thing right. Don't easily forgive a man who made a mistake, otherwise, you will appear weak.
Despicable women, you still have to rely on yourself, and the rest is just a mirror."
I smiled and said, "Hey, you want to be a strong woman. No wonder your name is Meijin. Tsk, tsk, such ambition."
Xu Meijin lowered her eyes: "How dare I have any ambition? I don't even dare to think about real ambition."
I put my arms around her shoulders and watched the subway enter the station: "If there is anything you dare not think about, just do it. I support you."
Xu Meijin smiled and looked up at me: "How can you support me?"
"Raise your hands and feet to support."
I smiled. Although my sister-in-law left, Cheng Baize's call made up for the empty mood I felt because my sister-in-law left. So I feel that life is not full of blows, but is still full of hope. I think we will all get better and better.
Yes, my sister-in-law, I, and Xu Meijin. (To be continued)
