Fu Qingsu runs an incense shop and has always been mysterious and alluring.
In reality, Fu Qingsu is a ferryman for the Underworld, tasked with guiding ghosts tormented by lingering obsession...
Baby Girl
At Suwu Incense Shop, Peng Xiaowei usually looks after the shop at around 4 or 5 in the afternoon.
Coincidentally, Peng Xiaowei, Gu Siyu, Xu Linlin and more than ten classmates had made an appointment to go to Suian City for a few days, so Fu Qingsu stayed in the store during these days.
Under normal circumstances, Fu Qingsu would have left the store long ago, but before Peng Xiaowei left, she told Fu Qingsu that a customer had made an appointment to come today to pick up the incense he had ordered.
As the owner of the shop, Fu Qingsu naturally had to wait for someone to come and pick it up.
A faint smoke was floating in the incense burner in front of the table. Fu Qingsu sat in his seat and adjusted the incense while waiting for someone.
"Is anyone there?"
At this time, two girls came into the store. Fu Qingsu stood up from his seat and walked up to them.
"Are you two here to pick up the incense or to buy some?"
The purpose of entering a perfume shop is simply to buy and take perfume.
Fu Qingsu's sudden appearance startled the two of them a little, but when they saw Fu Qingsu's face that could rival that of a female star, they were both amazed.
One of the girls calmed down and answered, "I'm here to pick up the incense. I ordered it from the store before."
The girl also gave the receipt to Fu Qingsu.
Fu Qingsu glanced at the receipt and said, "Wait a moment, I'll get the incense for you now."
Fu Qingsu went back to get the incense for the girl, and handed it to her after a while.
"This is the momiji fragrance you asked for."
The girl took it, smelled it, and found it was the scent she wanted. "That's right."
"That's right."
Fu Qingsu thought secretly that he could finally close the store.
The girl wanted to let another girl smell the incense, but she saw that the girl was absent-minded, and the girl suddenly felt a little worried.
"Lulu, we've already called the police. They'll definitely be able to find your friend."
The girl said, "I hope we can find him soon."
"Of course you can." The girl comforted her.
"Hey! Boss, why are you staring at Lulu?"
The girl found that Fu Qingsu had been looking at Lulu.
Fu Qingsu shook his head, "No."
"Do you two need anything else? If not, we'll be closing soon."
"No more, Lulu, let's go back."
The girl took Lulu's hand and walked out of the perfume shop.
Neither of them noticed that Fu Qingsu was staring at them as they left.
The reason why Fu Qingsu kept looking at the girl named Lulu was because Fu Qingsu discovered something very strange about Lulu.
Just now, Fu Qingsu saw the person Lulu was looking for through Lulu.
She saw a young girl with a baby face in a cowshed in the village. Her neck was locked with an iron chain, her body was covered with dirt and bruises, and her eyes were dull.
Fu Qingsu narrowed his eyes. He was very unhappy, even angry.
However, now is not the time for Fu Qingsu to be angry, that place is very strange.
There is a very powerful obsession that is not emitted by ordinary ghosts.
That obsession contains desire, hatred, resentment, pain, unwillingness and all kinds of obsessions.
Why is it like this?
This was the first time I met Fu Qingsu.
Then I thought of the girl who was all dirty and bruised.
After a while, Fu Qingsu closed the shop door.
At night, Fu Qingsu stood in front of the window, not knowing what he was thinking. Then a faint white light appeared in Fu Qingsu's hand. The white light flew out from Fu Qingsu's hand, flew thousands of miles away, and suddenly disappeared into the night.
At the moment the white light flew away, a man appeared behind Fu Qingsu.
The man said nonchalantly, "Your nosy nature hasn't changed."
Fu Qingsu withdrew his hand, glanced at the man behind him, and said slowly: "This is not considered as meddling."
The underworld has regulations that ferrymen cannot interfere in human affairs at will.
Because everything in the world is subject to cause and effect, if you interfere casually, there will be changes, which is a good thing but you don’t know it.
The man leaned lazily against the chair, his expression a bit strange as he repeatedly suppressed a laugh. "Hmm! It doesn't seem to be the case. After all, it makes people inhumane."
The man couldn't help laughing when he thought about Fu Qingsu and others becoming inhumane.
In order to prevent the girl from continuing to suffer abuse, Fu Qingsu directly dehumanized the man who assaulted her.
Even if he still wants to touch a girl, he will be treated inhumanely.
"Wei Minghao, aren't you in charge of the Rewarding and Charity Department? You can't just watch that girl suffer."
One of the four great judges, in charge of the Rewarding and Benevolent Department. As long as he is in charge of the Rewarding and Benevolent Department, Wei Minghao has never been a bad person.
Knowing that the girl was in such an environment, he could just sit back and do nothing.
Wei Minghao smiled softly, "Yeah! That's right, the man who trafficked her should be punished. You did the right thing."
Fu Qingsu didn't intend to continue talking to him about this matter.
Instead, she asked why Wei Haoming was here with her, "Why did you come to my place today?"
Wei Minghao sighed when he talked about this. "Originally, Zhong Kui and I went to catch a ghost that refused to return to the underworld even after death. We failed to catch him, and I was afraid of being blamed by the King of Hell, so I just ran to your place to hide."
"There are actually ghosts that you can't catch even if you go out and do something."
The two judges tried to catch the ghost together, but they couldn't catch it either.
It's really rare.
Wei Minghao spread his hands and said, "That ghost is not something that Zhong Kui and I can catch just because we want to."
"Why can't we catch it?" Fu Qingsu was very curious about what kind of ghost it was that they couldn't catch.
Wei Minghao's expression turned serious. "That ghost was an emperor in his lifetime. Even in death, the remaining dragon energy in his body can protect him."
"As long as he is unwilling to go to the underworld with us, I can't take him back to the underworld at all."
Wei Minghao got a headache when he thought of the ghost.
"He was an emperor in his lifetime, no wonder he sent you instead of the Ox-Headed and Horse-Faced Demons."
A ghost who was once an emperor in his lifetime and also possesses dragon energy. No wonder Wei Minghao has such a headache.
Fu Qingsu took a bottle of wine from the wine counter and poured it into the goblet.
Wei Minghao didn't even need Fu Qingsu to greet him, he just sat next to Fu Qingsu and started drinking.
"I don't want to go back to the underworld with you because of my obsession."
Not wanting to go back to the underworld means you have obsessions.
"That's right." Wei Minghao took a sip of wine.
"You can just get rid of your obsession, and it will naturally go back with you."
If they don't want to go back, then they want to eliminate their obsession, and the ghosts will naturally follow them back to the underworld.
"If it were that easy, Zhong Kui and I wouldn't have returned empty-handed."
If you have obsessions, you will have concerns, and they will be more difficult to eliminate.
What's more, a thousand years have passed, how can his obsession be eliminated?
Thinking of the person beside him, Wei Minghao put down the cup and said, "You still have a chance until the Udumbara flower blooms."
Fu Qingsu stopped shaking the wine glass and said, "I will wait for the Udumbara flower to bloom."
"Why are you doing this?"
If Wei Minghao had not been with Fu Qingsu for a long time, he would never have advised Fu Qingsu.
Fu Qingsu did not answer, but drank the wine sip by sip.
Wei Haoming sighed helplessly.
The breeze blew up the white curtains, and Fu Qingsu was the only one left in the apartment, with an empty cup next to her.
In the incense shop, Fu Qingsu put the prepared incense on the cabinet.
"Boss, can't you give me a little discount?"
"cannot."
Fu Qingsu rejected the fat man without hesitation.
Since it opened, the only customer who entered the incense shop was the fat man. The fat man took a fancy to a certain incense and kept bargaining with Fu Qingsu.
Fu Qingsu persisted.
"All the incense in my shop is clearly marked with prices, and I do not accept bargaining."
In Fu Qingsu's incense shop, all the incenses are clearly marked with prices.
If you think it’s too expensive, you can just go out.
"I use the incense in your store only a few times before it's all gone, and it's so expensive, the price is really not worth it." The fat man continued tirelessly.
I just don’t want to spend so much money on incense, I think it’s not worth it.
The fat man really likes the incense from Suwu Incense Shop.
Fu Qingsu was too lazy to pay attention to the fat man. "Turn left after leaving the store and walk down for fifteen minutes. There is an incense shop. You can buy it at the price you like."
Fu Qingsu kindly pointed the fat man to another store.
"You, no wonder your shop is so empty. With your attitude, it's a wonder you can get any customers."
The fat man became angry and embarrassed.
From this morning till now, he is the only guest and I haven't seen anyone else.
"Business is bad, I'm happy with that."
Fu Qingsu doesn't care whether the business is good or not.
As for guests like the fat man, Fu Qingsu didn't want to entertain him at all.
"Please go out." Fu Qingsu directly drove him away.
"Hmph, just go if you want to. Do you think I care about the fragrance of your shop?"
The fat man was so angry that he walked out of the store, still cursing.
Fu Qingsu's face didn't look good either.
When you open a store, you are bound to encounter some annoying customers.
Fu Qingsu didn't want to encounter these customers, so she wanted to hire employees. Otherwise, she could manage the store by herself.
Thinking of Peng Xiaowei, Fu Qingsu frowned slightly, "Why hasn't Xiaowei come to work yet?"
Peng Xiaowei said she would come back to work today. Normally, at this time, Peng Xiaowei would have arrived long ago.
More than an hour has passed, and Fu Qingsu still hasn't seen Peng Xiaowei.
Peng Xiaowei is not a person who is not punctual.
But he hasn't come yet, could something have happened?
"Could it be that something happened to Xiaowei?"
Otherwise, Peng Xiaowei would never be late.
"Ring, ring, ring, ring."
Fu Qingsu's cell phone rang. Fu Qingsu glanced at the caller ID on the screen and saw that it was Peng Xiaowei calling her.
Press the answer button, "Xiaowei, you."
Before Fu Qingsu could finish his words, Peng Xiaowei asked him for help.
"Miss Fu, something happened. Please save me and my classmates." Peng Xiaowei sobbed and asked Fu Qingsu to save them.
Fu Qingsu narrowed his eyes, "What's going on?"
"We couldn't get out, and we couldn't even call for help. Siyu and Linlin were separated, and I finally managed to get through to you."
Peng Xiaowei was crying as she spoke.
"Don't cry. Where are you? I'll go find you."
Fu Qingsu comforted Peng Xiaowei.
"We are here."
"Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle."
"Beep, beep, beep, beep."
The call was hung up immediately.
"Hello, hello, Miss Fu." Peng Xiaowei saw that the call was disconnected.
I called Fu Qingsu again, but this time the call couldn't go through at all.
