Chapter 16: If you don't like it, you have to do it
"I was wrong! Grandpa! Stop hitting me!" Old Qin covered his face, which was swollen like a steamed bun, and limped around in circles.
He didn't even dare to have the slightest thought of resistance. The horrific memory of being beaten up by Duan Anluo five hundred years ago and having his soul almost disintegrated was too deep in his mind. This living devil was simply the shadow of his career.
"I just wanted to scare you, how dare I really seduce you!"
"Bullshit!" Duan Anluo grabbed his ear and said, "I heard it clearly. You said to do it while it's hot!"
He released his hand and stood in front of the ghost messenger. "Come, I'll stand here now. Can you take out the Soul Locking Chain and tie me up?"
Lao Qin quickly begged for mercy: "No, no, I wouldn't dare to provoke you, a great Buddha, even if I ate the courage of a bear and a leopard. You still have a long life ahead of you."
"Stop talking nonsense!" Duan Anluo suddenly pulled over the stunned Li Zongzhi and said, "Meet me, this is me... um... I'm the cousin of my sixth-generation grandson-in-law's third uncle. Anyway, we're relatives!"
Old Qin looked at Li Zongzhi with a confused face, and the corners of his mouth twitched. The relationship between the relatives was so complicated that even the King of Hell would have to spend three days to check the family tree.
"Be more polite when you see him next time. In principle," Duan Anluo suddenly lowered his voice and warned him, "You must obey him from now on. If he says go east, you are not allowed to go west. If he doesn't say it's time, you are not allowed to move the chain. Understand?"
Lao Qin was very sensible and said, "I understand. I will listen to Master Li from now on."
Li Zongzhi was completely stunned. He was still an intern!
This ghost messenger is very experienced and is said to have the most experience in collecting souls, and there are people above him.
The master who had been ferocious to him these past two days suddenly nodded and bowed and called him Master Li. Li Zongzhi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Is this the benefit of having someone higher up?
Will he be able to say in the future that I have someone above me?
"Do a good job," Duan Anluo patted Li Zongzhi's shoulder, "When Han Ying dies, you two can be reincarnated together."
Li Zongzhi nodded quickly: "Yes, that's what I planned too."
The bruised and battered ghost almost cried when he left. What the hell was going on?
Not only did he hook a soul and bring out a living ancestor, but the intern he bullied also became his boss.
After Duan Anluo sent them away, he took the sign and wrote Li Zongzhi's name on it. From then on, he had someone under him, and it would be quick for him to get news.
Duan Anluo then tore off a piece of notepaper, scribbled down an address, and went to find Mu Qingzhuo. "This is the evil mystic who's causing harm. His methods are cruel and he takes no life. Go to this guild and have them arrest him. Don't let him get away."
Mu Qingzhuo checked the address. "What guild? This address says Paodekuai Moving Company."
"Their disguises are all sorts of weird. Just send it directly there. This is their nearest contact point."
Mu Qingzhuo took the note, and for the first time, his slightly childish face showed such a resolute expression. "Thank you, I will handle the future matters myself."
Duan Anluo praised him: "Be good, do your best."
Mu Qingzhuo held his breath. He was already eighteen years old, why should he be obedient?
Half an hour later, the guild's law enforcement team rushed to the Taoist's house according to the address, and saw him lying on the ground like a puddle of mud.
An older law enforcement officer squatted down to check and couldn't help but pout. All the bones in his body were broken as if they had been hit by a heavy object. Only his chest was still rising and falling very weakly. He was taking his last breath.
The person who did it was a ruthless character, very ruthless.
A younger colleague nearby asked, "Can this still be reviewed?"
The man wiped his hands, looking very experienced. "The body is completely broken. It will fall apart at the slightest touch. Just pull out his soul and interrogate it. Be gentle. The soul looks like it's about to shatter. Don't destroy it."
"Should we arrest and interrogate the person who caused him this? That's too cruel."
"Our unit is different from other places. We'll try him first. If he's guilty, we don't need to try the perpetrator. We might even give him a banner."
Soon, Duan Anluo's roof was repaired. It only cost several thousand dollars to repair the roof, so it was just a simple repair.
Mu Qingzhuo couldn't stand it at first, "Is this a place where people live? I'll fix it for you!"
Duan Anluo refused: "I won't spend your money, I have my own."
Mu Qingzhuo asked back, "What can you do with that little money? The windows are all broken, the walls are peeling off, how is this different from a haunted house?"
Duan Anluo's tone was gentle, but his expression was serious. "You are an ordinary person, not a member of the Xuanmen sect. We cannot use your money to repair the Xuanmen sect's house. It will be contaminated by karma, and it will not be good for you."
Mu Qingzhuo stared at him for a few seconds, his chest heaving, clearly furious. He practically gritted his teeth and said, "Alright, then consider it my donation. Donate it to Xuanmen, okay? I'm doing good deeds!"
Duan Anluo was silent for a moment, then raised his eyes and calmly pointed out: "This is not the money you earned, it was earned by your grandfather."
Mu Qingzhuo was choked by his words, his face turned pale, his lips were tightly pursed, and his jawline was tense. In the final analysis, it was still him who was not good enough.
He has no ability, he can't protect his grandfather, and he can't even make money.
Mu Shao left angrily and went back to fight.
Jiang Yuan was overjoyed when he returned. He took out his test paper with a score of 29 and asked Duan Anluo to sign it for him. He also envisioned the future with Duan Anluo, "Master, our next step is to replace the windows with glass! Then install an air conditioner, change a few lightbulbs, and repair the exterior walls and floors. Our lives will get better and better!"
Duan Anluo was very pleased to see that he was so easily satisfied. Although this child didn't learn anything else, he did learn the essence of Xuanmen completely: a big heart, easy to be satisfied, and with the vitality of wild grass.
Duan Anluo felt that he couldn't keep living like this any longer. He had to fight! For junk food and video membership! And not eating grass!
He relies on his children to support himself, and his children can only feed him grass, cabbage, lettuce, and wormwood stalks. Although he has never been in contact with his grandmother, he still feels green on his head.
"Yuan'er, let's go get a fortune-teller. I'll take you to eat roast lamb legs tonight." Duan Anluo took two steps and then remembered, "Oh, bring your ID."
So, in the evening, a fortune-telling stall appeared on the street of the snack street.
Duan Anluo was lazily leaning on a folding cloth chair. A large white T-shirt that could be seen everywhere on the street stalls could not hide his nobleness. His delicate facial features and lazy temperament instantly attracted many passers-by.
Jiang Yuan, with a Taoist certificate with a red seal hanging around his neck, was jostled around, his baby face wrinkled like the Goubuli buns sold across the street. "Ladies, please hold off! The starting price is two hundred. Those who want to count, line up this way. Those who want to watch, line up this way!"
A girl named Li Ying ignored her mother's objection and scanned two hundred yuan, saying, "Master, please tell me my love life."
I have a boyfriend I've been dating for two years. My family has always looked down on him, so they introduced me to someone from my hometown. I didn't agree, but when my boyfriend found out, he was very unhappy and often threw tantrums. I always had to comfort him.
It's been a long time, and I'm tired. Plus, the guy my parents found treats me very well and comes from a good family. I don't know how to choose, and I'm really confused now."
Li Ying's mother said angrily, "What's there to be confused about? That boy isn't sincere to you. I've eaten more salt than you've eaten rice. How could I be wrong?"
Duan Anluo looked at the faces of the mother and daughter, then his gaze fell on the uncle behind them. His long eyelashes couldn't hide the disdain in his eyes, "Doesn't your father count?"
"My dad? My dad?" Li Ying waved her hands awkwardly. "He doesn't believe this."
Duan Anluo looked at the girl and said, "Do you have any photos of them? Show me."
Li Ying found a photo of herself and her boyfriend on her phone, as well as a blind date photo of the man she found at home.
Duan Anluo took a quick look and said disdainfully, "None of them work."
Li Ying was stunned. "No?"
Duan Anluo pointed at the one in front. "This scumbag has a light Parent Palace, with the center line to the left. His parents are divorced, and he lived with his father since childhood, probably in the southwest, somewhere with mountains. He has a pair of drunken eyes, with yellow undereyes, and his eyes are watery. He's at least three women at the same time. He has no intention of marrying you at all. You've spent a lot of money on him in the past two years, right?"
Li Ying widened her eyes and nodded in shock, all correct!
Her boyfriend's family situation was exactly as she described it, and she came from a well-off family. She was also capable, and her salary plus commissions could bring her up to 20,000 yuan at best. Knowing that her boyfriend's family wasn't well off, she always rushed to pay the bills whenever they went out, and they basically didn't save any money.
Li Ying pursed her lips tightly. A woman's intuition is always more sensitive. In fact, she had already noticed that her boyfriend might be cheating, but she just didn't want to believe it. As soon as Duan Anluo said it, she believed it about 70%.
Duan Anluo's eyes darkened, and he said seriously, "If he cheated you of money and sex, you will ruin his reputation and break all three of his legs. Give me his birth date and I will cast a curse on you..."
"Master!" Jiang Yuan was startled and nervously grabbed the corner of his clothes. Fortune telling is fortune telling, and don't interfere too much in other people's cause and effect. How can Master help others to take revenge?
Duan Anluo pulled back the corner of his clothes and said firmly: "If you don't like it, you have to do it, otherwise my Tao heart will be unstable."
Jiang Yuan felt like he had finally realized something: the reason he wasn't very skilled was because he was too conservative!
Li Ying endured the discomfort in her heart and tried to curl the corners of her mouth, "No need, I can find a way myself, can you help me look at this again."
Duan Anluo didn't force it. "This scumbag, with thin yellow eyebrows and loose tails, oppresses the temples. Such people may have some money when they are young, but it's just bluffing. Their wealth won't last long. If they don't do evil and spend their old age in peace, otherwise their family property will be ruined and they will die in a foreign land. More importantly, he will have several failed marriages in his life, just to have a child. I suspect this man is looking for... a lesbian wife."
If he hadn't been watching TV series so frequently these past two days, he wouldn't have been able to come up with such a fashionable word.
Tian Xiuzhen was originally quite proud when she heard Duan Anluo say that her daughter's ex-boyfriend was not good enough. But when she heard that the man she found was not good enough either, she immediately became unhappy. "Little Taoist priest, the abbot of Qingyang Temple said that the one I found is a good match. Don't talk nonsense, such as the idea of same-sex marriage, same-sex relationship, we don't understand. If your calculation is wrong, give us back our money."
Duan Anluo looked up. "Compared to your daughter's marriage, I think you should focus more on yourself. You are the youngest of six sisters, and you have been spoiled since childhood. After marriage, you have two sons and a daughter. You are destined to enjoy a peaceful old age."
With every word Duan Anluo said, Tian Xiuzhen's mouth opened wider in shock, and in the end, an egg could almost be stuffed into it. She knew all this?
Duan Anluo sincerely suggested: "I suggest you rent two acres of land. When you have nothing to do, tie a rope around your husband and plow the land. This will consume his energy and prevent him from being cheated out of everything. This will cause you to get sick and have no money to treat it, and you will die a miserable death."
The man who was secretly sending a message to his mistress almost dropped his phone when his hand shook.
"You, what nonsense are you talking about?" He pointed at Duan Anluo's nose in a timid manner, "You are slandering me, be careful or I will call the police to arrest you!"
Duan Anluo looked him straight in the eye and said, "Don't use farm tools when plowing the land. You're so stubborn. Oh, and use more farmyard manure to cover up the bad smell in your mouth."
He suspected that he was infected by Jiang Yuan. Now he was too poor to even afford food. He had to settle the bill even if he didn't want to. After settling the bill, he had to pay the money, and he had to say thank you after that.
The author has something to say:
Yuaner: I have realized the truth!
Duan Anluo: Child, you have made a mistake, not realized it.
