Xu Lichao is a person with a serious job.

His job is to be a double canary.

Yes!It is the kind of stand-in canary that lives in the boss's house in the novel and waits for the boss to come and watch him miss his lover!

It was also accidental that he got this job, no, he was wrong, it was inevitable.

Half a year ago, Xu Lichao, who was gradually weakening, declined the job invitation of the internship company, and was going to spend the last days of his life comfortably by watching the flowers bloom and fall, sitting and watching the clouds and clouds.

Just five days after he resigned, Huo Shan, the boss, found him and said that Xu Lichao looked very similar to the person he liked, and wanted Xu Lichao to stay by his side as a substitute for that person.

The story in the novel was reflected in reality, Xu Lichao was taken aback for a moment and then laughed.

If he can live for a long time, he can fight on his own, what kind of stand-in canary?If he didn't live long, like now, there's no need to sell himself for money.

He doesn't want to.

It's just that before he could say his refusal, Huo Shan, who was opposite him, said, "It's just a stand-in, we won't have any physical contact, and you don't need to imitate his appearance, you just need to live in the place I provide you. Talk to me when I pass by, or just sit next to me."

"As for the salary..." Huo Shan was silent for a while, and asked him, "3 yuan a month, is that okay?"

Xu Lichao's words of refusal were swallowed.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, there is nothing wrong with agreeing to this overlord.

Boss Ba's house is always better than the single room he rents.

Boss Ba gave him a salary so that he could improve his standard of living and enjoy himself at the end of his life.

Ba Boss...he got along well with Ba Boss, and Ba Boss might go to the hospital to collect his body after his death.

Xu Lichao was moved.

He asked Huo Shan: "Are you married? Are you engaged? Do you have a boyfriend or girlfriend?"

Huo Shan's answer was none.

Xu Lichao put forward another condition: "In this case, if you can give me the right to stop at any time, then we will sign the contract."

Ordinary overlords are used to taking the initiative in their own hands, but Huo Shan is no ordinary overlord.

He agreed to Xu Lichao's conditions without hesitation, and just like that, Xu Lichao became Huo Shan's stand-in canary.

Overlord Huo Shan came to Xu Lichao's place about three times a week, two of which stayed for about two hours before leaving, and once stayed overnight. On average, he had four dinners and rested four nights a month at his place.

Calculated, Xu Lichao only needs to work about [-] hours a month, and the time outside of work is completely up to him.

In terms of job content, working hours and salary alone, this is definitely an extremely good job.

The most important thing is that the boss, Huo Shan, is also very helpful. Although he is taciturn and doesn’t like to talk, he is very polite. When he comes over, he will even send a message in advance to ask if he has time.

The boss is a nice person, the job is easy and the salary is quite high.

But...Xu Lichao took out his mobile phone and found Huo Shan's number.

The most important thing for him now is to hunt ghosts to make money, practice to extend his life, and he has no time to do this job again.

Ok?

Work?

Xu Lichao, who was about to call Huo Shan, paused.

Judging from Huo Shan's usual hasty schedule, he should be quite busy with work.

Xu Lichao exited the dialing interface and sent a message to Huo Shan, tactfully but firmly proposing to suspend the contract.

There was a quick message back: [I'll be there after get off work today, and we'll have a face-to-face interview. 】

Of course, there is only one result of the negotiation, that is, the contract between the two of them has come to an end.

Firstly, Huo Shan will not force him, and secondly, it is useless for Huo Shan to force him, the initiative is in his hands from beginning to end.

Xu Lichao returned Huoshan with a [OK], and then turned off the phone.

He returned to the room, put his wallet and mobile phone into his backpack, flicked his right hand, and went out with the black backpack on one shoulder.

After leaving the community, Xu Lichao stopped the car: "Master, go to Fengping Road."

The driver was chubby, and when Xu Lichao said that he was going to Fengping Road, the smile on his face increased a little. He stepped on the gas pedal and chatted with Xu Lichao: "Is the young man going to Fengping Road to pick up leaks?"

Fengping Road is a well-known antique street in Yangshi, but when it comes to going there, everyone's first reaction is to pick up the leaks.

In the driver's eyes, Xu Lichao was one of the members who wanted to pick up the leak. He didn't wait for Xu Lichao's answer, and kindly gave him the way: "I was born and bred in our Yang City, and I know it very well. Let me tell you, go to Fengping Road To pick up the leak, it’s best to go to the third one named Tianyuanzhai, his house has the best things, if you go and tell me Li Laosan’s name, he can give you a discount.”

Xu Lichao thanked the driver very politely: "Thank you, master, but I don't need it."

"I didn't go to Fengping Road to pick up leaks, but to find the master."

The driver was stunned: "What? Looking for the master?"

Xu Li continued to be polite and courteous, and repeated without any malice: "Yes, find the master."

He said: "Actually, I didn't believe in ghosts and gods before, but something is really wrong with me these days. It's okay to have a backache, but..."

As he spoke, he reached out and touched his shoulder, with a little panic on his calm face: "I always feel that someone is lying on my shoulder, blowing the wind on my neck from time to time."

As soon as Xu Lichao said this, his body turned slightly to the right uncontrollably, as if something was blowing on his left shoulder.

The driver who saw this scene from the rearview mirror was a little stiff. The weather in April, the sun was shining brightly, but white sweat suddenly appeared on his body.

No... No, this young man must have really seen a ghost, and brought the ghost into his car, right?

The car shook slightly, Xu Lichao asked in a caring tone: "Master, are you okay?"

The driver master shook his head stiffly: "It's okay."

"It's fine." Xu Lichao said this, and continued to talk about his troubles, "I heard that there are many masters selling stalls on Fengping Road, I wonder if they can see my problem, master , you are a native of Yangshi, and you are familiar with Fengping Road, so do you know that the master on Fengping Road is the most capable?"

How does he know?He has never seen a ghost... Thinking of the word ghost, the driver's heart trembled again. He glanced at Xu Lichao from the rearview mirror, then quickly looked away, and said, "I don't believe in these things. I haven't inquired about them. It's not that bad Know."

After he finished speaking, he seemed to think of something, and followed up: "But the boss of Tianyuanzhai should know something. If you don't know which master to find, you can go to Tianyuanzhai first, maybe his shop Is there any magical artifacts, erasures, or talismans in it, which can cure your problems, and when the time comes, report my name, and the boss will give you a discount."

I don't dare to say ghost words anymore, and I am still promoting this store with him. What a money-making spirit this is.

The driver's words reminded Xu Lichao of the time when he was working eight jobs a day and desperately trying to make money.

He immediately felt a little sympathy for the driver master.

"Okay, then I'll go to that store to have a look later."

The original expression was a little stiff, the driver master immediately smiled when he heard Xu Lichao's words, and forgot all the ghosts.

He enthusiastically reminded Xu Lichao again: "Then you remember to report me Li Laosan's name! Otherwise, he won't give you so much discount!"

Xu Lichao: No, otherwise you would not get the kickback.

At the entrance of Fengping Street, Xu Lichao got out of the car and entered Tianyuan Zhai under the attentive watch of the driver, Li Laosan.

"Hey! Handsome guy, what are you buying!"

As soon as Xu Lichao entered, he was warmly greeted.

A burly man in his early thirties, dressed in a trendy outfit and with dreadlocks, waved enthusiastically at Xu Lichao: "Handsome, do you want to buy something for yourself or a gift for others?"

He said and waved his hands: "No matter what, you are not wrong to come to my store. The things in my store..."

Xu Lichao interrupted the man and was about to open his mouth to boast: "Hello, I want to buy some cinnabar and talisman paper."

Oh, Feng Lei understands, this is a young man playing with talismans.

"Cinnabar and talisman paper, we have them here!" He walked behind the counter, took out a large box from under the counter, and greeted Xu Lichao, "Come and see, they are all here!"

He spread a piece of oiled paper, took out a few pinches of cinnabar from the box and placed them in order: "This kind is 300 yuan a catty, this one is 500 yuan a catty, this kind is the best, and 1000 yuan a catty of."

"Then talisman papers!" He took out three stacks of talisman papers, "a stack of twenty sheets, this one is 100 yuan, this one is 200 yuan, and this one is the best quality, it costs 500 yuan! One thousand one catty of cinnabar, the effect is absolutely amazing, everyone who has used it agrees! Just the day before yesterday, a disciple of Longhushan..."

Xu Lichao: Talisman paper... this kind of ordinary yellow paper can also draw talismans, but cinnabar... is this still cinnabar?It's almost red powder, right?

He interrupted the boss who was constantly praising his product: "I want the real product."

Feng Lei, who was trying to sell Xu Lichao, stopped talking, and looked at Xu Lichao suspiciously: "Handsome guy, this is the genuine product."

Xu Lichao: "No?"

He turned around and left: "Forget it if you don't have one."

"Hey, wait, wait!" Seeing that Xu Lichao was really about to leave, Feng Lei quickly called to stop him.

He walked in front of Xu Lichao, without the philistine look on his face just now, but with a little inquiry: "Which school is this little brother a disciple of, I'm a little blind, I don't seem to have seen you before."

Xu Lichao raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and said politely: "Wuming Xiaopai, it's normal that you don't know."

Don't want to say it?

If he doesn't want to say it, he can't force him to speak.

Feng Lei didn't ask any more questions, and the smile on his face added a bit of intimacy, and said, "Come on, let's go to the back, all the good things are there."

He closed the door, led Xu Lichao to the back compartment, and brought out several small boxes.

"This is super-grade cinnabar, 200 yuan per gram, this is top-grade cinnabar, 150 yuan per gram, and this high-quality cinnabar is cheaper, 80 yuan per gram."

"There is also talisman paper, this kind of talisman paper we commonly use, a stack of two thousand, and this," Feng Lei said, taking out a stack of talisman paper that is obviously much higher-end from another box, "this kind of talisman paper It’s Zhao’s special talisman paper, and I have two stacks here, if you want, I can give you both stacks, and one stack costs 1 yuan.”

Xu Lichao: "I want one hundred grams of high-quality cinnabar, and five stacks of talisman papers that cost 100 yuan each."

When he said that, Feng Lei understood again.

This brother is here to buy materials for practicing drawing symbols.

As we all know, when drawing talismans, the quality of the talisman paper is very important. Good talisman paper can bear more mana, and secondly, it can increase the success rate of drawing talismans. This brother bought this kind of low-level talisman paper, and he gave up completely. The success rate is purely based on practice proficiency.

I'm a novice at drawing.

But no matter you are a novice or a veteran, it is always right to have a good relationship. What if the blind cat meets a dead mouse and he meets a talisman genius?

Feng Lei packed things for Xu Lichao and said, "I sell everything in this shop. Brother, if you want to sell talismans one day, you can sell them here. I have two ways of buying and selling. One is that you sell talismans. Give it to me, don't worry about how much I sell, one is that I sell it for you, and then give me 5.00% as hard work fee..."

Feng Lei muttered to pack Xu Lichao's things: "Here, the total is [-]. Brother, it's your first time here. I'll give you a discount. I'll give you [-]. Do you pay by card or cash?"

"Swipe the card." Xu Lichao put the cinnabar and talisman paper into his backpack, took out the bank card from the bag and handed it to Feng Lei, and asked him, "Boss, do you have any talisman books in your store?"

Feng Lei stopped swiping his card, and he asked Xu Lichao in disbelief: "Brother, you didn't even recognize all the talismans, did you?"

Xu Lichao: Not only can he not recognize all the talismans, he doesn't even know what the water-blue talismans look like, and he doesn't have a writing brush either.

Xu Lichao took two brushes and put them on the table.

Feng Lei: ...

He looked at Xu Lichao suspiciously: "Brother, are you really a Taoist?"

Why do everything have to be placed now?

Xu Li looked sideways at a yellowed bell in the room: "This is a magic weapon."

Shiny.

Looking at Yuchai on the side again: "This came out of the tomb, or it was touched by a ghost recently."

There is a layer of light gray yin on it.

right!This bronze bell is a magic weapon, and the jade hairpin was just received from the gold toucher a few days ago.

It seems that he is really a member of the same school, and he is also a master with good eyesight.

It's just that he is a rookie among rookies in terms of drawing symbols.

Come on, he is afraid that it will be several decades before he receives this brother's order to sell talismans.

A booklet of talismans doesn't cost much, and the brushes are not expensive, so Feng Lei simply gave Xu Lichao a favor. He took out a booklet from the house and handed it to Xu Lichao along with the brush: "I will treat these as my brother's gift for you. Brother, if one day you draw a talisman and want to sell it, please remember to come to me."

Xu Lichao took the things: "Thank you, I will definitely come then."

However, Hanyue's talisman cannot be sold now. It is too different from Shuilan's talisman. If he sells it, he will definitely be targeted by others. As for Shuilan's talisman... If he can draw Shuilan's talisman, he will Come and sell.

It's just that he might not be able to draw it. After all, Hanyue and Shuilan are two completely different worlds, and the way of cultivation is also completely different.

Xu Lichao casually flipped through the talisman booklet, put it in his backpack after looking at it, and said goodbye to Feng Lei.

Oh, forgot.

Xu Lichao who walked to the door turned his head again and said, "I was introduced by Li Laosan."

"Ah?" Feng Lei was taken aback for a moment, then he reacted and gestured to Xu Lichao, "okok, I see."

Write it down to Li Laosan.

……

Xu Lichao started drawing talismans after returning home.

The world in the dream is very dangerous, there are many ghosts and ghosts, and the demand for talismans is particularly great, so the celestial master there has a task, and he has to hand in at least a lot of talismans every month. It is no exaggeration to say that he is in the dream. The number of times he painted talismans was more than the number of times he ate and drank water combined.

Once I get used to painting, even if I change my body, I can quickly find the hand feeling.

First draw ten "attack" characters.

Draw five more "sleepy" characters.

Five cards of "broken" characters.

five...

After finishing a small dish of cinnabar, Xu Li put his left hand on the back of his neck and moved his stiff neck, and took a look at the painted talisman with his right hand.

Except for the first two times, the subsequent writings were successful every time, and the efficiency was very good, but the power was not very good.

Hot knowledge in dreams [-]: The power of talismans drawn by celestial masters
