Chapter 71 Fisherman

The Fuai Temple closed at five o'clock and the pilgrims left the mountain one after another.

The employees recruited by Fuai Temple cleaned and tidied up the Taoist temple. Qi Gu and Huang Hongyuan also counted today's bills in the side room. After all the calculations, they found that they had made a lot of money today.

Of course, the income cannot be directly deposited into Qi Gu’s account, it is all managed by Huang Hongyuan.

After settling the bill, Qi Gu felt refreshed and immediately decided to treat all the employees and Mu Xingchen, who was still in the Taoist temple, to a meal to celebrate.

Pubugesangben also wanted to stay for this meal, as he came here specifically for this matter. But because Qi Gu's talisman paper was of great importance, he gritted his teeth and gave up the meal, and instead took the fifty gourd talisman papers that Qi Gu had drawn that afternoon back to the headquarters.

I plan to put this batch of talisman paper into use first.

With this, my colleagues' work efficiency can be greatly improved!

The important thing is, you will never accidentally catch your colleagues in the ghost box again!

As for Mu Xingchen, ever since Qi Gu mentioned that there would be an inspection the next day, he had anxiously locked himself in the side room, scratching his head and trying to memorize. The Pure and Tranquil Classic was actually not that obscure, but Mu Xingchen had not been exposed to ancient Chinese for a long time, so his progress in memorizing was very slow, and he would forget two out of three sentences he memorized.

When he heard Qi Gu inviting him to go down the mountain for dinner, he refused without a second thought. He had only memorized half of it with great difficulty. If he had a meal now, he would definitely forget it all and have to start all over again!

Seeing that he was devoted to learning, Qi Gu nodded with satisfaction and said, "Be good, wait for the master to come back and bring you some midnight snacks.

After the meal, Qi Gu packed a portion of crayfish for himself and Mu Xingchen to take back to the mountain. On the way up the mountain, Qi Gu received a voice message from Lin Hanzhi wishing Fuai Temple a happy opening.

The other party said in a charming voice that he was still working overtime and was on a business trip during this period, so he definitely couldn't come to Fu'ai Temple to wish him well in person.

For some reason, the background noise at the place where he was working overtime sounded extremely noisy. It didn't sound like he was in an office building, but rather like he was in some place where the water was flowing extremely fast, with the sound of water colliding and splashing.

Lin Hanzhi's voice sounded weaker than any previous time, as if he was about to be defeated by overtime work at any time.

Qi Gu: [Work is important, but you also need to take care of your health. You sound like you are sick.]

Lin Hanzhi said with grievance: "Yes, I am sick, but I still have to go to work even if I am sick."

Lin Hanzhi continued to send voice messages: "Only I can handle this matter. No one else can help. Ahem... ahem."

After that, Lin Hanzhi never sent any messages again.

Qi Gu suspected that the other party had fainted due to illness: [Are you okay? Or go to the hospital.]

After a long time, Lin Hanzhi replied, but this time it was not a voice message, but a text message: [He is not dead yet. He should be able to recover before the third episode. Don’t worry>.<]

Under the cold moonlight, the water was rushing, and the riverbed was full of undercurrents. Lin Hanzhi was soaked in water, with her hair sticking to her pale cheeks, looking like a ghost that had just crawled out of the water.

He lay prone on the rough sand, his chest heaving violently, half of his soul feeling torn in pain. After a while, he lay motionless on the ground, as if he were completely dead.

But after another half a minute, he woke up again in severe pain, took a look at the rushing river, and jumped in again.

He jumped in and climbed up all night long. Every time he climbed up from the bottom of the river, his face looked uglier than the previous time and the pain was more severe.

He opened his mouth, wanting to say a few more words to the phone on the shore, but when he opened his mouth all that came out was a painful gasp, and it was difficult for him to utter a syllable.

——So he didn’t send any more voice messages, but just typed with his cold and numb fingers.

After receiving Lin Hanzhi's reply, Qi Gu felt relieved and opened Weibo instead.

If I remember correctly, a lot of @ seemed to pop up when I was eating just now, and I don’t know what it was.

When he opened the Weibo, Qi Gu saw the post with the most @s.

[The Fisherman will never come back empty-handed: I'm sorry Master Qi Gu ahhhhh! I shouldn't have doubted your ability to catch ghosts before, woooo, woooo, woooo, please have mercy on me and save my life. I am willing to offer you lamps for the rest of my life! I’m the person who said in the comment section a few days ago that if Qi Gu could catch ghosts, I would see a ghost tonight. And I really saw a ghost that night! 】

[Fishermen never come back empty-handed: As you can tell from my name, I am a fisherman. My only hobby is fishing with my brothers. That day, one of my brothers said he had found a good place for wild fishing, so I followed him. When I got there, I found that the water in the reservoir was clear and the fish were fat, which was very nice. My brothers and I separated ourselves from each other and started fishing. There were lush trees near the reservoir, so I couldn't see my brothers, and I didn't know how much they caught. But we made a bet that whoever caught the least would treat everyone...and then the climax came. Before I caught a single fish, I saw a red ghost floating on the surface of the reservoir. The figure had very long hair, and I was so scared that I almost threw my expensive new rod into the water. I really regretted it at that time. I wouldn’t have said such nonsense if I had known! 】

What happened later? 】

[Since the blogger is still alive and posting, he must have escaped in time, so he is still alive]

[What are you doing here?] 】

[The fisherman will never come back empty-handed: Who said I ran away? At that time, I saw that there was no fish in my fishing basket. I felt that if I let it run away now, I would be laughed at by my brothers. I also thought that it would take a while for the ghost to float over, so I just continued fishing. It’s strange to say, but ever since I saw the ghost, the fish have been biting my hook one after another, it’s so cool. 】

【? ? ? ? ? ? 】

[It’s not you… you don’t seem to want to live much either]

[Fuck, what kind of spirit is this? You are such a talented person.]

[I understand this. If I don't leave, I will die at most if I am caught by the ghost. But if I come back empty-handed in a top-notch night fishing spot, my next life will be worse than death! 】

[Wait...your experience sounds so familiar, could it be that you are jgh? 】

[Fishermen never come back empty-handed: How do you know? I am and you are? 】

[It’s me, the fat guy who went night fishing with you that night. Actually, I also saw a ghost that night, but I thought it would be too embarrassing to come back empty-handed, so I kept quiet and continued fishing.]

【? ? ? Good guys, no wonder you two can be good brothers]

[What is Crouching Dragon and Phoenix?]

[Fuck, I’m a monkey, I saw it too, but I don’t want to be empty-handed either…]

[There are also experts...]

[You guys are really, I'm crying]

[So the three of you are all fine now, why are you still asking Gugu for help? It's a waste of everyone's feelings]

[Fishermen never come back empty-handed: There is still something wrong. That thing has entangled me. Now every time I go fishing, it floats near me, and it is getting closer and closer to me...]
