Old Fogey Goes Down The Mountain

Wei Xi was so tired that his hands ached and his legs ached, he was resting on his apprentice's arm, his breath was full of the apprentice's smell, listening to the orderly heartbeat in his ears, he suddenly remembered before falling into a dream that he seemed to have forgotten to take off the jade pendant on his chest today .

It is really that the performance of this jade pendant today is too quiet. It is obvious that it was always uncomfortably hot when it sucked the yang energy of the apprentice in the past, but this time it is not known why it is so gentle and abnormal. The mild heat, which is not blazing, seems to rise a little occasionally, and then immediately drops back quickly, as if deliberately not wanting to burn him, so it is naturally ignored.

But it was obviously just a jade pendant, why did he subconsciously feel that it didn't want to burn him?

This thought only flashed through his mind, accompanied by drowsy sleepiness, and disappeared in an instant.

Shuo Zong was half asleep, when he vaguely heard noises again, his mind moved slightly, but before he woke up, Wei Xi in his arms felt the movement of his body because he was sleeping too tightly .

Wei Xi let out a muffled groan that disturbed his slumber, and the sound that came from nowhere stopped instantly, and there was a dead silence.

Shuo Zong let go of his original handshake with Wei Xi in a half-dream and half-awake state, hugged the startled person in his arms and patted him, but found nothing unusual, but suddenly his arm touched something warm.He subconsciously touched it, only to find that Wei Xi forgot to pick the jade pendant before going to bed today.

He picked up the jade pendant from Wei Xi's chest, looked at it twice under the moonlight, but didn't see anything, but suddenly felt that the temperature in his palm was rising extremely fast!

At the same time, Wei Xi, who had finally been quarreled, looked over in bewilderment. He probably realized that the hand he held with his apprentice before falling asleep was loosened, and he grabbed it instinctively.

If there was a sound, it was probably the hissing of an inflated balloon being drained of air.

The temperature of the jade pendant returned to normal almost as soon as Wei Xi stretched out his palm. The fiery high temperature was like a flash in the pan. There are a lot of them, and the slender fingers are digging and drilling, insisting on interlocking with the apprentice.

Shuo Zong subconsciously let go of the thing in his hand and held him.

Strange to say, with Wei Xi's high strength value, he always sleeps curled up, which seems to be a manifestation of his insecurity.

At this time too, instinctively grasping the apprentice's hand, as if he was finally satisfied, fell into a sound sleep again with tender eyes, and let out even and small breathing sounds.

Shuo Zong's eyes instantly softened when he didn't even realize it. He adjusted his posture and hugged him back, ignoring the weird jade pendant.

He had nothing to be afraid of at first, not to mention the fact that the temperature in the palm of the other party rose so quickly, maybe it was just a hallucination.

Forget it, it's not important anyway.

Go to sleep.

In the middle of the night, the "unimportant" head of the Taicang sect, who was reluctant to burn Wei Xi's skin and was worried that tossing Shuo Zong would wake Wei Xi to sleep, ordered: "..."

*****

Recently, Tuanjieyi always felt that he was in danger of killing himself. It was a sense of crisis for no reason, like an animal encountering a natural enemy, and danger lurks everywhere.

He told his master the feeling he got, but the master just looked at his face and said, "Nonsense."

At most, this appearance means that he will be unlucky recently. What does it have to do with the disaster of killing himself?

He told his younger brother the feeling he got, and his younger brother stared at him deeply: "Hehe."

Tuanjieyi couldn't be believed, and when he turned his head, he felt a chill on the back of his neck, like a switch knife hanging from the top of his head that was about to fall at any time, and couldn't help but continue to speculate: "Junior Brother, you said I won't Offended some villain, right? I calculated according to the book, it is the hexagram of a villain!"

Junior brother: "...hehe."

Unity: "??"

What does hehe mean?Junior brother is really unfriendly.

However, the master didn't have time to talk to him. The statues that the believers had asked for hadn't arrived yet. In the morning, the boss called suddenly, saying that the kiln for the small statue that Taicang Zong wanted had been fired twice and cracked.

The boss was very troubled: "Normally speaking, it shouldn't be. I have been in this business for decades, and there is nothing wrong with the heat."

The boss makes god sculptures for people full-time, and has a little understanding of ghosts and gods, so he feels a little weird: "Is it a bit abnormal?"

Wei Xi decided to take his apprentices to see the scene.

When he entered the store, he saw the owner of the God Sculpture Shop worrying about a table of mud embryos. Wei Xi was stunned when he saw the mud embryos clearly.

The final image in his mind was Wei Dedao's face sleeping with his eyes closed, so in the final request to the boss, the statue's eyes were closed.

The boss's craftsmanship is better than he imagined. It's just such a small reminder, but the clay embryo he molded is really healthy. His robe is fluttering, and he has a leisurely demeanor. His eyes are closed and he is smiling. , as if he will open his mouth in the next second to preach to others.

Wei Xi looked at it for a while before stepping forward. The boss said with a sad face, "This is really the most difficult order I have ever taken. It cracked before entering the kiln, and it still cracked after entering the kiln. Obviously, the other statues in the same batch are all in good condition." , only your family’s god sculpture, you can’t find a complete one, and the embryo soil used is exactly the same!”

Wei Xi stepped forward noncommittally, and then listened to the boss's cautious guess: "It's too bizarre. Could it be that you don't want to be molded as a statue? What did you mold him for?"

Wei Xi answered truthfully: "I have opened a sect, and some believers want to invite two ministers back to worship."

One wants to treat constipation, and the other wants to treat beriberi.

The boss didn't know the inside story, and he was still very strange: "Isn't that very good, the incense is strong, how could the gods disagree?"

As soon as the words were finished, there was a slap, and the earthen embryo closest to him shook and dropped its arm.

Shuo Zong: "..."

Boss: "...It seems that I am really unhappy..."

Wei Xi didn't take it seriously, and stepped forward to take the broken arm amidst the panicked guesses of the boss, and looked at it carefully.

The section of the severed arm was neat and clean, as if it had been cut off, and Tuanjieyi was also terrified: "Master, Master, does Tianzun really not want to be invited back by the believers?"

Wei Xi didn't think so, and said lightly: "How is it possible, your master has the whole world in mind, and he usually doesn't hesitate to lecture on ants when he meets an ant in the mountains."

Broken Arm God Statue: "..."

Wei Xi violently pushed the severed arm back to the gap, and the boss just wanted to remind the clay embryo that it was not sticky enough and it was almost dry, so it was useless to connect it, so he let go of his hand and said, "Look, it's just a coincidence. .”

The interface of the severed arm of the statue was as neat as new, pretending as if it had never been separated.

"Burn it in the kiln." Wei Xi motioned to the boss, then stared at the group of mud embryos, and leaned towards the silent second apprentice beside him.

The second apprentice looked at his face where he couldn't see any emotions for a while, and suddenly stretched out his hand to stroke his hair comfortingly: "Miss him?"

Wei Xi grabbed his hand: "How is that possible."

Wei De said that the dead old man can't do anything except eat and sleep every day.

He lowered his eyes and played with his apprentice's slender, white fingers. He gently wiped the scars on the opponent's back with his fingertips, and was held back by the apprentice.So he stopped his petty movements, and after a long while, he replied disdainfully: "There are only a little bit at most. After the fire is finished, let's offer one in our sect ourselves."

The boss who cleaned up the mud embryo became strange when he cleaned up.

There were always various accidents in the process of burning the mud embryo of this kiln of Taicangzong, such as inexplicable cracking after entering the kiln, such as disintegrating without warning when placed on the table, and sometimes even a little bit of movement when holding it. Negligence will cause a statue that should be flexible to fall apart.

But just now, when he was tidying up, he accidentally let go of a god statue and dropped it on the table. The table was a bit narrow, and the dry statue rolled to the edge of the table.

The boss has experienced this kind of accident countless times, and he knows that he can't recover from the frustration. He is still holding other statues in his hands, and it will be bad if he breaks them if he makes a big move.

The idol was rolling, and it rolled to the edge of the table, but who knew that a strange scene appeared, the idol suddenly stopped rolling, then hovered on the edge of the table, and began to shake left and right.

It seems to be in a fierce psychological struggle, sometimes rolling half a circle towards the safe place inside the table, and sometimes swaying a little towards the abyss outside the table.

boss:"……"

The boss glanced at the watch, it has been shaken for 5 minutes, no amount of inertia should be shaken, right?Is this great immortal dancing or not?

*****

Wei Xi was preparing to organize a company party when he received the good news from the boss that the kiln had been successfully fired.

Taicang Zong received a promotion from the Yamen of Yincao, and transformed from a private enterprise into a public institution. The future is limitless. This is really good news for a small company in its infancy.

Such a great happy event, of course, must be shared with the employees. It just so happens that the company has never had group activities since its establishment. Appropriate group activities are very helpful for cultivating the tacit understanding among employees. Next, Chairman Wei Xi made an unprecedented decision to launch an expansion activity.

The attitude of Shuo Zong, head of the finance department of Taicang Zong, is: "..."

Speaking of job assignment, the process is actually like this.

That day, Wei Xi urged his disciples to find a photo frame and hang the certificate he had obtained next to the business license in the living room. Wei Tianyi, who was still having a bad dinner, paced over with his hands behind his back, frowning and scanned the certificate twice. Eye.

At the beginning when he saw the festive red cover of the certificate, he thought it was a certificate or that Wei Xi had passed the exam for a technician certificate or something, but when he took a closer look, he found that there were a few things that belonged to hell and ghosts.

Wei Tianyi felt very unlucky, and raised his eyebrows and said: "What is it, quickly pick it up!"

Tuanjieyi explained to him that this is a government commendation our company has received, and Taicangzong will no longer be an ordinary company, but an agency unit.

Wei Tianyi didn't believe a word of it, but felt that the elder son and his apprentice were simply crazy, what the hell was the Yamen of the underworld, even the certificate holders had to brainstorm to do it, and the government He was commended, so he sneered and asked: "Oh, so powerful, have you joined the party? Have you joined the CPPCC? Which agency does your unit belong to? The central government? The National People's Congress? The State Council?"

Wei Xi: "?"

Tuanjieyi began to think hard: "Which one do we belong to?"

Shuo Zong: "...None of them belong."

Wei Tianyi was not too full, but he was very proud to see that it was hard to get back a city, and said mockingly: "I have been in the mall for so many years, and I have eaten more salt than you have eaten rice, just you little A broken company that makes small noise, pretends to be gods and ghosts, burns incense and worships Buddha, does not know what it is doing every day, the positions are not clearly divided, and it is also a public institution, which makes you small self-employed people give face!"

As the saying goes, three people must have my teacher, Wei Xi frowned deeply when he heard this.

Leaving aside the series of organizations Wei Tianyi mentioned that are difficult to mess with at first sight, the suggestion he made is of a very high standard. Lu, the rest of the management positions have indeed never been appointed.

Since we want to grow our sect, we can't continue playing around like this.

He took the company's position ranking list from Unity Search, as the leader, he must be the chairman, and then -

"Which position do you want?"

Unity Elder was happy: "Master! I want to be the general manager!"

Wei Xi: "Okay, what about you, Queer?"

Shuo Zong: "..."

Facing Wei Tianyi's indescribable gaze, he couldn't resist Wei Xi's serious expression, so he clicked on the option of the finance department.

Wei Tianyi watched in disbelief the process of dividing several important departments of the Taicang Sect, and was finally appointed as the person in charge of the reception office. He lost his sarcasm, and walked away with his hands behind his back in amazement—this company can last for two years. When he went bankrupt, he twisted his brain and kicked it like a ball.

*****

So the first staff travel activity of Taicangzong was launched under the convening of the three elders.

Uncle Shen was very happy when he heard about the certificate issued to his company by the Yincao Yamen. Although the Yincao Yamen can't control the Taicang Zongjin Political Consultative Conference, it is absolutely authoritative to them ghosts. Compared with this, he feels Joining the CPPCC is much less attractive.

The local City God's Department also gave Taicang Zong some establishments, establishments!Not to mention lonely souls and wild ghosts, even normal reincarnated ghosts have to go to the death test if they want to make a career.For ghosts, career is not as simple as an iron rice bowl in Yangjian.If you have a job, you can have an income. If you have a job, you can have an income. If you have a job, you can have an income. Power is also quite awed by ordinary ghosts, who would be rude to see it?What's more, after joining the establishment, reincarnation also has preferential treatment!

One day I don't want to be a ghost anymore, so I apply to the government office. Those who perform well at work may be able to vote for a wealthy second generation in their next life!

These rich second-generation officials and second-generation officials in Yangjian are often said to be reincarnated, but how do ordinary people know that except for a few of these people who had great merit in their previous lives, the rest are basically monopolized by the staff of the city gods.

Uncle Shen traveled all over the world and started from scratch in the past, but he heard a lot of gossip about the only grandson of a wealthy businessman in the capital city who was favored by thousands of people. Some ghosts guessed that it was a small leader of the local City God's Department who gave birth to him. The application submitted by the little leader at that time was brilliant. Extremely, his subordinates sentenced nearly a thousand cases of injustice, and there was not a single case of unjust, false or wrongful conviction. Not two years after he resigned, the only grandson of the rich businessman was born.

Uncle Shen couldn't help but feel very happy when he thought of this, because there is a sweetness in the organization, in order to become a full-time employee in the company, I am afraid that one by one will take the initiative to work overtime to become a programmer in Yangjian.

This is really a happy event wow!

At present, the haunted houses and detective agencies are all listed for rest, and Uncle Shen leads hundreds of trainee ghost employees and the old men and women of the mediation team to prepare to go out excitedly.

Wei Xi talked to Qiu Guokai about the employee's outing, mainly because the group of ghosts who were new to the brokerage company were actually employees of Taicangzong. Since it was a collective development of employees, they couldn't be excluded.

Qiu Guokai didn't have any objections. The monsters were new to the company and had no resources.However, thinking that Wei Xi would bring a group of monsters among his employees, he was still a little worried: "Master Wei, why don't the company's employees bring them? They are not of the same race. If you scare your employees again gone."

Wei Xi: "No, no."

Qiu Guokai didn't dare to persuade him, so after hanging up the phone, he had to tell the boar spirit to wait for the spirit, remember to cover up his abnormality when going out to play, and don't show it in front of the employees of Taicangzong.

If you scare someone into calling the police, when the police arrive, everyone will be finished!

The spirits have been out for so many days, and they all feel that the life outside the mountain is indeed more comfortable than in the mountain, and they all know what will happen to them after being exposed, so they all nodded cautiously.

After half an hour.

The wild boar spirit stood stiffly, and his younger brothers and sisters clung to him in fear. Surrounded by a group of horrible scapegoats, some had blood on their faces, some had half their heads, and some had one of their eyes missing.

Judging the dead ghosts and looking at them: "This is the colleague from the branch?"

"It's pretty pretty."

"I heard from Manager Shen that he will be a star in the future."

"Hey, I'm so envious. Before I died, I actually wanted to enter the entertainment circle, but it turned out that I didn't look good..."

Wild Boar Essence: "..."

The squirrel spirit beside him said tremblingly, "Pig, brother pig, I'm afraid."

The wild boar carefully said that you are afraid, but I still want to call the police.

*****

Wei Xi and his apprentice picked out several locations for the company to expand, and after a while they chose the Beijing Forest Zoo.

This zoo is very famous, and it is said that the scenery is quite good, and it is also a sacred place that many new employees of the brokerage branch miss. More importantly, Wei Xi himself is also very interested in it.

But the only bad thing is that the zoo is closed at night, and the employees can only travel during the day.Although with the special means of Taicangzong, the ghost employees in the company are not afraid of daytime, but going out in broad daylight is still a relatively poor experience for ghosts.

But there are so many ghosts, there is nothing to do, and there is really nothing interesting at night in the capital, so we can't go to disco with more than 700 ghosts.

Fortunately, the day of departure was a lucky cloudy day, and the sun was not violent.

The ghost employees in the company died for four years at the shortest time, and 200 years at the longest. They had the opportunity to come out to play together for the first time after their death. sacrifice.

The spirits stood on the side blankly, beside them were various——

"I brought a white candle, would you like to try it?"

"This is the incense stick that I saved at noon yesterday. It smells good. You should smell it too."

All are speechless.

More than 700 ghosts bustling together were really spectacular. Although ordinary humans couldn't see them, they were still very crowded in Wei Xi's vision.

The time was just right, and the hall was very bright even without the sun, so Uncle Shen suggested to Wei Xi: "Master, why don't you all take the subway there? It's broad daylight, and it's hard to go to the zoo like this."

Wei Xi: "Subway?"

He hasn't been on the subway yet.

He subconsciously consulted the opinions of the two apprentices. He came from Fengyang, and he had never seen the subway. He had only seen the subway.

Let them take the subway together...

Wei Xi didn't get an answer, so he turned to Uncle Shen: "Then let's go."

During the day on this day, commuters in the capital subway felt that the air in the subway was extremely cold.

Everyone rubbed their arms and complained that the subway department was too stingy and couldn't bear to turn up the heating. Shuo Zong stood at a distance with Wei Xi in his arms, silently watching a few unknown employees in front of him commenting on the living people around——

"Her legs are so thin."

"The clothes look good, and they are much more fashionable than when I died. If you save up a few months' salary, then let Manager Shen buy it for me and burn it for me."

As soon as the subway doors opened, people and ghosts rushed in, filling the entire carriage in an instant.The commuters felt much more comfortable now. With the heater turned on in the carriage, it was stuffy and hot when there were too many people. After the ghosts squeezed in, their breathing was much cooler.

They were calm and composed, and the ghosts who were not used to the Beijing subway were shocked. After squeezing into the carriage to avoid overlapping with others, they were all crowded and screamed, floating above their heads: "There is no room!! Don't come up!" !!!”

The elves were beautiful, wearing hats and masks, hiding far away from the main force, and deeply felt that this group of abnormal species should be included in the normal ranks at this time.

It was the first time for Wei Xi to take the subway, and he lost two apprentices as soon as he got on the train. Someone pushed his back all the time, and someone stepped on his shoes, pushing him abruptly to the other side of the car, while the crowd pushing The power is still pouring in.

This was a scene that no martial arts master could do anything about. Wei Xi was directly squeezed into a daze, and was squeezed against the gate of the subway in a daze.

Surrounded by so many strangers who are cursing.

Wei Xi was so crowded by them that he couldn't move. After a long time, he caught a familiar face from the corner of his vision: "Queer!"

The second apprentice was dressed in black, tall and slender, with a handsome face, he stood out from the crowd like a chicken, and everyone around him was secretly looking at him, but he pushed aside the crowded surroundings expressionlessly, calm and composed Squeezed towards Wei Xi.

Squeezing in front of Wei Xi, he stood still, leaning on the railing with one hand, and lowered his head to help Wei Xi comb the messy hair: "Are you okay?"

He blocked the front and used his back to resist the crowd, and there was a small vacant area around him.

Wei Xi had lingering fears: "Is this the subway?! How can it seat so many people!"

The apprentice looked down at him, and suddenly smiled, as if he was very happy to see him in a rare embarrassment: "Most human beings are always very hard... uncomfortable?"

Wei Xi stared at his rare smiling face with a little confusion in his eyes.

"If you feel uncomfortable, lean on me." The apprentice stared at him, eyes still slightly bent, let go of his arms and grabbed his bracelet around his waist, "Stand steady."

There were people all around, Wei Xi wrapped his arms around his waist, and suddenly had the illusion that the two of them were very quiet within a few meters.

He slowly tightened his arms and leaned over, and the apprentice spread his shoulders, leaned against his sides, and looked at him quietly with his head down.

Wei Xi raised his head, met his gaze, and then lowered his eyes to stare at his lips.

Kind of want to touch it.

The apprentice understood tacitly: "Hungry?"

Wei Xi shook his head.

The apprentice didn't know what was going on, and the corners of his mouth curled up again. He moved a little closer to him, and slid his hands to his shoulders, and said in a low voice, "It won't work here."

The current posture of the two of them is as if they are hugging each other intimately.

Wei Xi leaned against him and asked, "Then where can I go?"

"Wait out." The apprentice wrapped his fingers around a lock of his hair and twisted it intently, "I will feed you after I go out."

Wei Xi snorted lazily, leaned against him and did not move. The apprentice simply put an arm around his waist to prevent him from being shaken.

The surrounding office workers who suffered [-] points of damage: "………………"

The carriage swayed, Wei Xi leaned against his apprentice, and heard a discussion from the side: "Oh, do you know, I heard that someone committed suicide by lying on this section of the subway track last month, and last week someone on the forum He said he met a ghost here while taking the subway.”

"Wow, isn't it? It's so scary? You can run into ghosts on the subway?! Let people go to work!"

Wei Xi: "..."

Wei Xi glanced at the girl who was talking, and then silently turned to the corner of the carriage, yelling at his own employees who had no place here.

The train passed through a tunnel, and suddenly someone in the carriage exclaimed: "What is that!"

Wei Xi turned his head subconsciously, and instantly saw a blurry floating object outside the subway window. The subway was so fast, but it was always with him, and the commuters in the car were so scared that they screamed: "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!! what!!"

Wei Xi narrowed his eyes, and at the same time, the apprentice's judgment came from above his head: "The one lying on the rails."

Many ghosts who commit suicide will stay in place. Of course, the purpose is different. Some may be looking for a substitute, while others may simply want to scare people.

This ghost chooses to appear during the peak period, which is very likely to be the latter. It may not be taken seriously during its lifetime, but after death it indulges in the pleasure of being noticed and screaming.

In terms of attractiveness, it is really successful, because not only the humans in the carriage saw it, but also the more than 700 employees of Taicangzong swarmed up curiously after hearing the shout, stomping on people's heads and climbing on their shoulders Shoulder: "Ghost?! Where are ghosts!"

Wei Xi: "..."

Shuo Zong: "..."

The kid outside the car window was very satisfied with the responses of the office workers. He twisted his body, wanting to reveal his bloody face, so he turned his scarlet eyes and peeked at the living people in the train compartment.

Immediately afterwards, it confronted a large group of strange-shaped creatures of the same kind in the carriage.

More than 700 pairs of ghost eyes stared at it, some had their heads bleeding, and some had their stomachs ripped apart. When it comes to eerie, the two sides are not on the same level at all.

Lying on the rails: "………………"

The employees of Taicangzong were a little disappointed after reading it, and they began to critically evaluate——

"That's it."

"Well, generally speaking, it would be much more scary if I went."

"But it runs so fast, what is the speed of the subway? Has anyone checked it?"

"It seems to be up to 80km per hour."

"That's okay."

"Its waist seems to be broken, wow, poor, why can't you think about lying on the rails? I'm ugly enough for jumping off a building. Look at my head, I can't knock it back now."

"Oh, what's going on? Why doesn't it move? Hey, hey! Where are you going, it!"

The lying ghost's crotch tightened, and he ran fast: "...... Excuse me."

The employees of the Taicang sect still refused to stop humiliating it, and the follow-up topic diverged all the way to whether this ghost is a social terror, otherwise how could they run away when they saw a ghost, so it is easy to make friends.

The office workers in the subway: "... Huh? Why is it gone again? Was it dizzy just now?"

Shuo Zong hugged Wei Xi: "..."

Wei Xi was also silent for a while close to Shuo Zong: "...Group activities seem to be quite fun."
